The 100-Year Game
_________
In celebration of the 100th NFL season, football legends young and old gather together at a red carpet gala for the “The 100-Year Game.” Airing during Super Bowl LIII, the film highlights a chain reaction when Marshawn Lynch tips the Anniversary cake, knocking the ceremonial ball perched atop onto the ground, and the gala erupts into an epic game of tackle football. The spot features 44 legendary players, including 19 hall of famers, 53 collective Super Bowl rings, 11 Super Bowl MVPs and it was voted #1 in USA Today's Ad Meter.
