Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks boasts star power on the field, in the stands — and in the commercials.

While some fans come for the gridiron action, others tune in to the NFL’s marquee game of the season for the ads. There’s often a hefty price attached to Super Bowl commercials, and this year is no different. According to CNBC, 30-second slots averaged $8 million and some sold for more than $10 million. However, the right ad can be priceless.

Athletes will be scattered throughout the commercials during Super Bowl LX. Peyton Manning returns for Bud Light, a plethora of the NFL’s greatest tight ends team up and Derrick Henry shows off his arm talent.

Here’s a look at the top commercials during Super Bowl LX that feature athletes.

Star-studded cast models glasses of the future

Athletes are no strangers to Oakley sunglasses — Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes even has his own collection. Therefore, it’s only right that Oakley tapped multiple athletes to highlight its new “Oakley Meta Performance AI glasses.”

Former Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch gets it started by skydiving before skater Sky Brown, cyclist Kate Courtney and golfer Akshay Bhatia join in, participating in their respective sports. Internet personality iShowSpeed and filmmaker Spike Lee are also part of the ad, which showcases the various functions of Oakley’s glasses.

A lesson on the links

In the spirit of the Winter Olympics, Michelob Ultra decided to bring out the skis with instructions from actor Kurt Russell. The commercial begins with actor Lewis Pullman losing in a race, meaning he’ll have to buy a round of Michelob Ultra.

Russell notices Pullman’s defeat and decides to train him. Pullman wins the next race, pulling off a backflip on skis, receiving approval from Olympic snowboarding gold medalist Chloe Kim and Stanley Cup winner T.J. Oshie.

Peyton returns for Bud Light

The two-time Super Bowl champion had a prime spot with Bud Light for a 2025 commercial with comedian Shane Gillis and musician Post Malone. Manning, Gillis and Malone are back this year in an ad simply titled: “Keg.”

While at a wedding, Manning holds a glass of Bud Light he describes as “first beer of the wedding.” Malone asks: “Is there enough for everyone?” before Manning points to a keg being rolled into the ceremony. However, the keg falls down a hill, sparking members of the wedding — bride and groom included — rolling down to grab it.

Tight ends unite for an important cause

Medicine company Novartis tapped a group of current and former NFL tight ends to spread awareness about prostate cancer screening. From Jake Olson and Tony Gonzalez to George Kittle and Rob Gronkowski, the men are shown in relaxing states while calming music plays in the background.

Halfway through the commercial, Super Bowl-winning head coach Bruce Arians shares why the tight ends are so relaxed — they’ve learned that a simple blood test can detect prostate cancer, easing challenges of detecting it. Arians asks Gronkowski to show what the coach taught him. And Gronk, as you probably guessed, relaxes his tight end to get the point across.

Henry shows off arm during trolley tour

Trolley tours are a key part of the San Francisco experience. Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry and actress Kathryn Hahn hopped on a trolley themselves, but when it struggled to get up a hill, Hahn hopped out to push it back up.

She handed her Oikos to Henry, then proceeded to get the trolley rolling back up and away from her. However, her Oikos remained with Henry, who delivered it to her with a throw reminiscent of those of his quarterback, Lamar Jackson.

Serena shares fitness journey

Tennis icon Serena Williams is back with a Super Bowl ad that highlights her health changes — including losing 34 pounds — while on Ro’s GLP-1.

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO: Lindsey Vonn’s audacious bid to win Olympic downhill gold with a ruptured ACL lasted 13 seconds on Sunday as the American great suffered a horrific crash early in her run and was taken to hospital.

Vonn, 41, whose battle to reach the start line despite her knee injury dominated the opening days of the Milano Cortina Olympics, saw her unlikely quest end in agony.

Wearing bib number 13 and with a brace on the knee she injured in a crash at Crans Montana on January 30, Vonn looked pumped up at the start gate, tapping her ski poles before setting off in typically aggressive fashion.

Vonn has a deep knowledge of Cortina’s Olimpia delle Tofane, having enjoyed 12 of her 84 World Cup wins on it during a glittering career, but she appeared to clip the fourth gate with her shoulder, losing control and being launched into the air.

She then barrelled off the sunlit course at high speed before coming to rest in a crumpled heap.

Vonn could be heard screaming on television coverage as fans and teammates gasped in horror before a shocked hush fell on the packed finish area.

She was quickly surrounded by several medics and officials before a yellow helicopter arrived and winched her off the course bound up in an orange stretcher.

The helicopter took Vonn to Cortina’s Codivilla Putti Hospital for a medical assessment. As it flew overhead towards the town, spectators applauded.

There was no immediate word on her condition.

Skiers left shocked

Fellow American Breezy Johnson, the world champion who had set the fastest time, covered her eyes and looked away as the helicopter was called. Johnson was later crowned champion but it was a bitter-sweet day for the team.

“My heart goes out to her,” Johnson said. “When you love the course so much and it hurts you like that it hurts even more.”

Vonn, the 2010 downhill champion and who took bronze in 2018, had been hoping to become the oldest Alpine skiing Olympic medallist after winning two World Cup races this year.

Arguably the highest-profile athlete at the Games, the American’s crash sent shockwaves across day two.

Her teammate, downhill skier Bryce Bennett, watching in the town square on a big screen in Bormio where the men’s races are staged, was left stunned by what he had seen.

“It’s obviously a bummer. It’s just like the risk of downhill is high and … Like, everyone makes it look so easy when it’s going smooth and then you see how quickly it can go in the other direction,” he told Reuters.

“Her right leg didn’t look so good, but we’ll see.”

Vonn risked too much

Even TV commentators were visibly shaken by Vonn’s crash.

Double Olympic gold medallist Tina Maze, working for Eurosport, said Vonn had risked too much in her run.

“Of course, if you’re not health,y then the consequences are even worse, but we know all Lindsey,” she said. “It’s her decision that she wanted to do this no matter what.

“It’s really tough for everyone here to see this and especially for her family and her teammates and everyone working with her. I mean it’s terrible.”

FIS president Johan Eliasch gave his thoughts on the crash.

“Tragic, but it’s ski racing, right? And I can only say, thank you for what she has done for our sport because this race has been the talk of the Games and it’s put our sport in the best possible light. I hope she will have a speedy recovery, and is back on skis very, very soon.”

Vonn’s sister, Karin Kildow, said she had put her ‘whole heart’ into racing at the Olympics, especially as it was being staged on a course she loves so much.

“That’s definitely the last thing we wanted to see,” she told NBC. “When that happens, you’re just immediately hoping she’s okay, and it was scary.

“She dared greatly, and she put it all out there.”
