First, let's talk about the game. The Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers with a final score of 24-10. Peyton Manning didn't have the greatest Super Bowl performance, but his defense did, helping him end (possibly) his legendary career on top. The Panthers could not stop Von Miller and the rest of the Bronco's defense, even the President of the United States declared the Broncos defense as the best he's seen since the 85' Bears. There are plenty of videos of Cam Newton's reaction to the Bronco's final score. Very similarly, Eli Manning's reaction got just as much meme videos. I believe the reason for his emotional reaction was because he was concerned that the Broncos were going to have to go for two, and not that Peyton brought home the better report card and Eli now has nothing to brag about at the family dinners.
Now onto the entertainment portion. It starts off with Lady Gaga singing the National Anthem. Social Media was quick to start making memes of her and her performance. First thing I saw about her on social media was her interesting red dress choice and the Fairy Godmother from Shrek in the same interesting red dress with a microphone singing. I am not the biggest halftime show fan, but seeing everything on social media made me look into what happened with Beyonce. She joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars on stage at halftime of the big game. Beyonce, while performing her newest song "Formation", was at the front of the stage with her background dancers behind her, and it appeared that she hit one of her "hot" moves too hard and had to catch herself from falling. She played it cool, of course, and social media has declared it the "Beyonce Bop."
Finally, let's discuss the marketing and advertising portion of the game. To get a commercial played during the game costs a company roughly 5 million dollars, so you better make that commercial count. Budweiser pays roughly 20 million dollars for their commercials, but Peyton saying that he's going to celebrate with a few, who knows? Some of the top commercials that are making some noise are; the Mountain Dew Kickstart- Puppy/Monkey/Baby, Coca Cola's- Hulk and Ant Man, and many more. There is a top 10 commercial link below. Like most years, the big winner from commercial ads was Doritos. They took in the most total shares and saw the biggest sales increase. Papa John getting a peck on the cheek from Peyton after the win to celebrate the win was also a good strategy for him. In the end, the Super Bowl to me is always fun to watch no matter who is playing in the game.
