Sunday’s Super Bowl 51 was definitely one for the ages as the underdog Atlanta Falcons team took on the veteran New England Patriots squad. The game was full of amazing throws, clutch catches, aggressive sacks, and the first over-time action in Super Bowl history. My sport background is one of the main reasons I love the Super Bowl but also anxiously await the half-time performance and creative ads. This year was even more exciting for me as I didn’t have to wait until Monday morning to see the best ads because this year was the first time Canadians got to see them live! So without further adieu check out my favourite 10 commercials and top film trailers from Sunday’s game as well as a couple of fun bonus items.
