If you love football, then the Super Bowl is a day of magic. We wanted to bring that idea to life for everyone and what better way to create a sense of wonder and awe, then through the eyes of kids getting to play their favorite game, with the biggest stars of all time.

As a brother and sister compete in a Super Bowl themed football video game the players come to life as 22 NFL legends pour out of the game into an unsuspecting family’s home. As they continue to play the game they destroy the home in the process. Thanks to the quick thinking of the younger sister she pulls off an upset win and rights a longstanding super bowl wrong by allowing Walter Payton to finally score a Super Bowl touchdown.
