ExtremeRavens Posted September 5 Posted September 5 New Ravens running back Derrick Henry is sometimes called “King Henry” due to his dominance on the football field. But before his debut with the team Thursday night, football fans will see him fighting for dominance in another (fictional) arena. Henry, who previously played for the Tennessee Titans, appears in a Gladiator-themed Pepsi commercial slated to run before and during Thursday’s broadcast of the Ravens-Kansas City Chiefs game. The ad finds him in the Colosseum alongside fellow football stars Travis Kelce, a running back for the Chiefs, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson as they battle tigers — but not each other — and seek the favor of an empress portrayed by rapper Megan Thee Stallion. The commercial also stars actors Jake Lacy and Lamorne Morris as bewildered Pepsi drinkers transported to the ring to watch as the action unfolds (“I really gotta stop thinking about the Roman Empire,” Morris quips.) The Ravens-Chiefs game will air on NBC and WBAL Channel 11 at 7 p.m. View the full article Quote
