Peyton Manning’s latest commercial for the Buick Verano takes on a different meaning after Sunday’s disaster.

His opening line: “As a quarterback, I know how it feels to be blindsided.” Right about that. Maybe things would have different if Manning had a Buick Verano blocking for him.

Below is an extended version about the making of the ad. Here’s a link to the ad itself.

Indeed, in light of Manning’s epic failure, it does your perspective a bit in watching on his ads. The Papa John’s guy couldn’t be pleased.

It will be interesting to see if Manning’s upcoming ads acknowledge that he is trying to bounce back from the humbling defeat.
