WATCH: Standout commercials from the 2023 Super Bowl
Aside from Rihanna's first live performance in seven years, another topic of interest revolves around Super Bowl LVII. We're not just talking about the championship faceoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, but also the commercials that aired in between their match.
That's right, for those averse to athletics, the next big thing to talk about is the televised advertisements that feature comedy and celebrities.
