Kyle Orton Uncle Rico mashup is awesome (Video)

Kyle Orton shaved his mustache before Sunday’s game and went on to lead the Buffalo Bills to a thrilling comeback victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Before he shaved the stache, Orton was starting to look exactly like Uncle Rico from “Napoleon Dynamite.”

Mustache or no mustache, the mashup you see above of Uncle Rico throwing a game-winning touchdown pass to Sammy Watkins is still fantastic. Orton didn’t exactly throw the pigskin a quarter-mile, but he put the ball right where it needed to be. Here’s how much the two looked like each other before Orton made the highly questionable decision to shave.

Orton’s mustache was just about as good as the one this NBA All-Star was rocking earlier this year. Fortunately for Bills fans, getting rid of it wasn’t bad luck. We wouldn’t have recommended it, but it worked out for Rico — err, Orton.
