The Cleveland Browns are one of four NFL clubs that have not yet participated in a Super Bowl, the other three being the Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans.That, of course, ignores the fact that the Lions have four league titles and the Browns have eight, but for a lot of people, the NFL did not exist prior to January 15, 1967, the day of the inaugural Super Bowl. (Or, January 12, 1975, in the case of Pittsburgh Steelers supporters who wish to get past the suffering of the team’s first 41 years of existence.)Regardless, the Browns will be participating in this year’s Super Bowl virtually thanks to a United Airlines promotional push.The commercial, which stars actor Chandler as the well-known Eric Taylor from Friday Night Lights, inspires supporters to reserve their tickets in advance and gives hope that the Browns can finally win their first league championship since 1964 in the upcoming season.
“I understand that you are watching other people’s teams play today, Cleveland. However, you captured everyone’s interest this season. the dirt. The triumphs. The protection. You get the title for the next season. Lastly.
Browns supporters, this is a matter of faith. Believing so strongly that, before the season even begins, you reserve your ticket to the big game the following year. Since a strong belief has the power to transform everything.However, the advertisement uses the chance to highlight that the airline does not impose a price for flight changes, just in case the 2024 season does not proceed as expected.
While the ad campaign is witty and lighthearted, it may irritate certain fans.
And who knows? Maybe the Browns will have success in the upcoming season. Who can you trust, after all, if not a two-time state champion head coach like Eric Taylor?
