Tommy DeVito, the American professional football quarterback for the New England Patriots in the NFL, is preparing for a monumental occasion next month. He will be at the Super Bowl inside Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as his team takes on the Seattle Seahawks in a highly anticipated rematch. Before the big game, however, the 27-year-old athlete is having some lighthearted fun with a unique promotional effort.
Progressive's Playful 'Backup' Campaign Twist
This week, DeVito appeared in a promotional stunt for Progressive, where he was seen selling lemonade on the street. The initiative is a playful twist on Progressive's 'backup' campaign, involving a fantasy football punishment. The loser, Raheme Taylor, will have to run a lemonade stand in Boston in January and attempt to sell lemonade to strangers. As morale dips during this chilly endeavor, DeVito will arrive as Raheme's 'backup,' showcasing dependable coverage and support in a humorous, real-world scenario.
A Familiar Super Bowl Matchup
If the Super Bowl 60 matchup between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks feels familiar, it's with good reason. This is a rematch of one of the most memorable Super Bowls in recent history. In 2015, the Patriots secured a dramatic 28-24 victory over the Seahawks after Malcolm Butler intercepted a Russell Wilson pass from the 1-yard line in the final minute, a play still etched in NFL lore.
This year's Patriots-Seahawks clash features a new cast of characters on both sides. New England is seeking its NFL-record seventh Super Bowl victory, led by young quarterback Drake Maye, coach Mike Vrabel, and a stifling defense. The Seahawks counter with veteran Sam Darnold under center, coach Mike Macdonald on the sideline, and one of the league's best defenses, as they aim to win their second Lombardi Trophy.

Halftime and Pregame Show Highlights

Bad Bunny will bring his Latin rap and reggaeton swagger to the NFL's biggest stage, headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show in Northern California. The pregame show will open with a trio of standout performers: Charlie Puth singing the national anthem, Brandi Carlile performing America the Beautiful, and Coco Jones singing Lift Every Voice and Sing.
DeVito's recent performances, such as reacting after defeating the Los Angeles Chargers in a wild card playoff game on January 11, 2026, and celebrating with tight end CJ Dippre after a win over the Miami Dolphins on January 4, 2026, highlight his role in the Patriots' journey to this pivotal game. As the team gears up for Super Bowl 60, DeVito's off-field antics add a touch of levity to the intense preparations.
