While standing in the concessions line to get beer for his friends, h he encounters several setbacks, but like a dependable friend he safely returns home with Bud Lights in tow. The football-themed spot will premiere this Sunday evening.

"Supplies," which will also debut on Sunday, features a group of friends seeking shelter from a zombie apocalypse.
