The Victoria's Secret Angels Are Taking On the Superbowl

The Victoria's Secret Angels Are Taking On the Superbowl:

If you're anything like me, the most anticipated televised sporting event on your calendar each year is the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. (OK, just take one look at those girls in their lingerie and angel wings and tell me that it has nothing to do with athleticism. I dare you.) But, for others, it's likely the Super Bowl, which will take place on February 1 in sunny Arizona.

The Angels aren't ones to sit on the sidelines (as we told you, they're pretty serious athletes), and during the Big Game, models Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge and Behati Prinsloo will star in a 30-second commercial during the fourth quarter. Aside from perfectly playing to their core demographic — football watching dudes, of course — the TV spot serves to remind all of the men tuned in that Valentine's Day is right around the corner.

Victoria's Secret hasn't filmed a Super Bowl-specific commercial since 2008, but that year, its clip reportedly received the largest audience for a commercial ever. For some reason, we're not surprised. Watch the online-only teaser entitled "Don't Drop the Ball" above and keep your eyes peeled for the real deal when it airs on Super Bowl Sunday.
