For thirty teams, Super Bowl isn’t the end of the season – it’s the start of next season. Watch Eli, @OBJ_3, @TheHumble_21 and the @Giants O-line put in the work in our #SBLII commercial. pic.twitter.com/QP6UducMYa

Eli Manning beats the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl yet again with a little dirty dancing with New York Giants teammate Odell Beckham Jr.
The New York Giants aren’t playing in the Super Bowl, but they were a hilarious part of Super Bowl 52.
In an ad that aired in the third quarter, Eli Manning throws a touchdown pass to Odell Beckham Jr. They celebrate the touchdown by recreating a dance scene from “Dirty Dancing.”
The ad features the song “I’ve Had The Time Of My Life” sung by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. Giants offensive lineman Brett Jones, John Greco, Chad Wheeler, D.J. Fluker, and John Jerry were the backup dancers. Safety Landon Collins was the one-man Greek chorus.
Manning lifts Beckham at the end and the ad ends with the tagline of “to all the touchdowns to come.”
“Celebrations were a highlight of this season, and we had so many breakout moments where players showed their creativity together,” Dawn Hudson, the NFL’s chief marketing officer said in a statement, per Erik Brady of USA Today. “We wanted to keep that fun going for the Super Bowl and give our fans something to smile and laugh at that was just about football.”
While Beckham was good at dancing Eli wasn’t. Here’s some advice, Eli: stick to your day job. Although, you and your teammate should try this during practice.
The ad was probably the best Super Bowl ad of the night as Twitter went crazy.
It looks like Tom Brady just got beat by Eli Manning in the Super Bowl again.
