The best commercial to be featured during Super Bowl LIII was undoubtedly the one made by the NFL itself that was dedicated to its 100th season. It was something that Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer Troy Aikman could have very well be apart of had he made the right choice a few weeks back.

The NFL filmed the commercial following the NFC Divisional matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys. Aikman said during an appearance on KTCK-FM that he regrets opting to go home rather than staying in Los Angeles to shoot:

“They shot that commercial the Monday after the Cowboys played the Rams in the divisional game, and so for me to be in that commercial, I was gonna have to stay in Los Angeles another 48 hours, and I just wanted to get home,” Aikman said. “I don’t know why I thought that the commercial was not going to air for another year, for some reason that was in my head. . . . Then when it aired, then I realized it was for this year’s Super Bowl and it was very well done. . . . I thought, ‘You know, I should’ve hung around and done that.'”

It is easy to see why Aikman is regretting his decision. The commercial featured NFL legends of the past, present, and future all in one sitting. Not only was it one of the best commercials of this year's Super Bowl, but it will go down as one of the more iconic pieces in the game's history.

There is no question that Aikman would have certainly made for a solid addition to this star-studded cast. Cowboys teammate Emmitt Smith played a central role in the commercial. It is safe to say the NFL would have found a way to incorporate their dynasty in there.
