Watch: Behind The Scenes Video Of The NFL100 Super Bowl Commercial

Not every company has the power to make a mind-blowing advertisement, and the NFL did that with its NFL100 commercial.

“The 100-Year Game” features past and present stars, and it was the best commercial to air during Super Bowl LIII. NFL100 was the best way to celebrate the league’s Centennial season in 2019. These two minutes were filled with pleasure and excitement.

The commercial was a real hit. It won USA Today’s Ad Meter for Super Bowl LIII, and became even more popular after it was first released. The NFL posted a behind-the-scenes video. We get to watch a few extra scenes, and it was super exciting.

You can see Marshawn Lynch and a fistful of cake, ninjas, Rob Gronkowski, Larry Csonka, champagne and much more.

It was a rather surprising project, but no player wanted to end up on IR with injuries from the shoot. There were serious precautions about it, and each player was given a chance to execute the stunts safely. Christian McCaffrey and Ndamukong Suh dove into large pads instead of going for the football.

League EVP and Chief Marketing Officer Tim Ellis said it was of utmost importance for the commercial to be “inclusive and emblematic of football’s expansive influence on American culture.”

“We viewed the ad as an opportunity to partner with cultural icons and engage with the next generation of football fans,” said Ellis. “Our hope is that this spot, and the incredible wrap-around content we created with these stars, will energize everyone around the celebration ahead.”

Peter Berg of Friday Night Lights directed the commercial. He has done this before. Berg was director of Verizon commercial in which Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn thanked first responders who helped him stay alive after the car accident in 2005.

NFL100 was a huge project

“I feel honored to help ring in the NFL’s centennial season with a piece of creative that brings to life the passion, energy and storied history of football,” said Berg. “In fact, it’s one of the coolest things I’ve done in my entire career. As a lifelong fan of this great game, I think this spot will resonate with football fans around the world and help set the table for all of the exciting celebrations on the horizon over the next year.”

“The 100-Year Game” is the first in what will be a year-long series of original content by the NFL that will celebrate the league’s centennial across multiple platforms.”
