The Coke Missed Field Goal Commercial

There are some commercials that seem to transcend time. I’m thinking of this Amazon commercial or numerous Publix commercials. For ages, this is how it feels to be a football fan in America: Highs. Lows. Drama. And then it’s second down. Yeah, one play can send you through the loop of every emotion. Especially when it’s a game-changing field goal attempt. Tell me you haven’t felt like these fans before…


This has got to go down as one of the best football-related commercials of all time. I’ve felt this way so many times. Sometimes there’s a flag thrown that changes everything, and gives needed relief, but sometimes not. I’m thinking about my formative years when the college team I loved missed kicks “wide right” more than once. And no yellow flag saved the day.

😭


How do you feel about the commercial? Is there any better way to show the joy, heartache, and absolute excitement that goes on in college football?
