Seeing the play, Kimmel asked, “A play like that is it more embarrassing when you don’t complete the pass after you do the whole thing?” To this, Mahomes jokingly admitted, “We worked on that play for so long and then I knew. We tried to disguise it with all that different stuff happening before the snap. And then I saw 22 Point directly at the guy I was gonna throw it to. That was like, I don’t know if I like my alignment.”

Kimmel then asked about the play and what it’s called. To this, Mahomes said, “Wylie [Andrew Wylie] who is the guy we were trying to get the ball to is a big Pokemon collector and so it was a Pikachu formation and it was called ‘Gotta Catch ‘Em All’.” Thus, this was the play made by the Chiefs that didn’t land a point but became a cheerful moment to remember.

Fans were happy for MrBeast to get a feature in the Super Bowl LVII commercial

Another moment that the fans dearly loved was MrBeast’s appearance in the Super Bowl LVII commercial, ‘Run With It‘. The commercial featured Flag Football Mexican player Diana Flores, and as she made her way dodging chasers to snatch her flag. MrBeast had a chance too.

Unfortunately, this chance slipped as he was busy on the phone while Flores crossed him, leaving him to say, “I missed it.” This brief moment excited the fans, who were excited to catch a glimpse of MrBeast. From advertising PewDiePie in a Super Bowl to being in its commercial, fans were proud to see how far he came.
