Sunday's low-scoring Super Bowl may not be receiving rave reviews, but the NFL's commercial commemorating its 100th season is.

The two-minute ad features commissioner Roger Goodell addressing a black-tie banquet filled with NFL legends and current stars. In it, an impatient Marshawn Lynch reaches for the cake, knocking the gold football being used as the cake topper down to the floor. Then a mad scramble for the "fumble" ensues.

The ad features, to name a few, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Deion Sanders, Barry Sanders, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr., who, of course, makes a one-handed catch while crashing backward into a table.

The commerical, which was directed by Peter Berg ("Friday Night Lights," "Lone Survivor"), finished first in USA Today's Ad Meter, a ranking of Super Bowl ads by consumer rating.
