The Lombardi trophy was looking to be just inches away from the Falcons. But then the trump card of Super Bowl 2017 appeared. And it was none other than a Nintendo Switch commercial.
As reported by the website iTech Post, “Almost immediately after the commercial, Dont’a helped bring back the spotlight to New England as he strip-sacked Ryan. This boosted the spirits of the Patriots and recovered with a touchdown from Danny Amendola, marking a 28-20 score.”
