Super Bowl 53: Joe Montana depicted in unrealistic way during commercial

The NFL kicked off the commemoration of its upcoming 100th season in fine fashion Sunday with a commercial that celebrated many of the game’s great players at a fictitious gala.

But the script made one major, inexcusable mistake.

After all, everybody should know that Joe Montana never throws an interception on Super Bowl Sunday.

But there it is, 35 seconds into the spot, after Marshawn Lynch dislodges the football from the top of a triple-layered cake to set the chaos into full Animal House cafeteria mode.

Montana reaches down to pick up the loose ball.
