Former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning can't quite get out of football mode while visiting Universal Orlando.
Peyton Manning's "Vacation Quarterback" advertisement for Universal Parks & Resorts that aired during Sunday's Super Bowl received an above-average response, but he couldn't match his younger brother.
Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. performed a touchdown celebration inspired by "Dirty Dancing" in an NFL ad that ranked second among the 65 Super Bowl ads scored by USA TODAY's Ad Meter. The 60-second Manning-Beckham commercial scored a 7.18 rating. It was edged out for the top spot by Amazon's 90-second ad of Alexa losing her voice.

Peyton's Universal Parks & Resorts ad scored 19th, with an Ad Meter rating of 5.76.

In Peyton's spot, he appears with families at Universal's parks. "Fear is never an option!" he shouts while starting a descent down a roller coaster. Later, he's walking with a family in "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" and quips, "You know, I really wanted to play quidditch, but we're kind of a football family."
Toward the end of the ad, Manning practices flicking his wand with a girl, who gets frustrated with his technique and deems him "uncoachable."
Ad Meter's results show which states each commercial scored highest in. Not surprisingly, Peyton's Universal Parks & Resorts ad scored second-highest in Indiana, where he spent most of his career with the Indianapolis Colts, and Colorado ranked fifth. He finished his career with the Denver Broncos.
Tennessee, where he played his college career with the Vols, did not register among the top six states.
