Peyton and Eli Manning star in two FanDuel Super Bowl commercials
Ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday, former NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning faced off in FanDuel's 'Kick of Destiny' event outside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Peyton missed his first kick wide left and Eli's first attempt fell short. Peyton then hit the right upright on his second attempt before Eli struck his right down the middle, winning the competition.
Their older brother, Cooper, provided commentary for Fox alongside Rob Gronkowski, who participated in the first two editions of the Kick of Destiny (he failed both times).
'It's unbelievable, I've been dreaming of this moment,' Eli said after beating Peyton. 'I've just been grinding, been working so hard and finally, to be a kicker, it just feels right.'
Eli said he pulled a muscle during the kick but it was 'well worth it.'
Here is the kick-off from earlier in the day:
And here is FanDuel's first commercial following the event:
And here is the company's second Big Game ad:
'Eli and I have always been competitive, and this is going to be a fun way to challenge each other in a completely different way,' Peyton said in a press release ahead of the Kick of Destiny.
The Kansas City Chiefs are facing the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. The game is on Fox and available to stream on FuboTV (try it free).

Predicting which Eagles' tight ends will make the final 53-man roster following minicamp
Predicting which Eagles' tight ends will make the final 53-man roster following minicamp With Philadelphia completing OTAs and mandatory mini-camp, w'ere predicting which tight ends will make the final Eagles' 53-man roster The Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions, and as we approach the 2025 NFL season, this roster will look dramatically different after suffering several free-agent losses. During the first wave of free agency, Philadelphia saw Josh Sweat (Cardinals), Milton Williams (Patriots), Kenneth Gainwell (Steelers), Mekhi Becton (Chargers), Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings), Fred Johnson (Jaguars), Parris Campbell (Cowboys), Darius Slay (CB) and Oren Burks (Bengals) all depart. Still, they rebounded to make several key signings, including A.J. Dillon (RB), Joshua Uche (LB), Adoree' Jackson (CB), Charley Hughlett (LS), Patrick Johnson (LB), Avery Williams (KR/PR), Kylen Granson (TE), and Azeez Ojulari (OLB) among others. Our projected 2025 depth chart series continues with the tight end position. You can find our past position breakdowns at the links below: Quarterback, Running Back, Wide Receiver TE1 - Dallas Goedert Goedert is back on a restructured deal, and it wasn't a rough decision after the veteran (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason. TE2- Grant Calcaterra Playing in relief of an injured Dallas Goedert, Calcaterra logged 24 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown. He was targeted 30 times and put up 19.9 yards per game. Best of the rest Practice squad numbers and game day elevations make it easy for Philadelphia to get creative with its 53-man roster. The Eagles carried two tight ends last season, and with Jeffrey Lurie looking to incorporate fullback Ben VanSumeren, the team is expected to take this approach in 2025. There are seven tight ends on the roster, with Nick Muse and E.J. Henderson among the players battling for a spot after the team signed Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant. Jenkins was promoted to Philadelphia's active roster in 2024 and saw action in 12 games (eight in the regular season and four in the postseason). Playing primarily on special teams, he caught one pass on the season – a 7-yard touchdown versus the New York Giants on Jan. 5.
