Peyton Manning put his seal of approval on brother Eli's Super Bowl LII commercial.
The minute-long spot, which also starred New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., spoofed the Patrick Swayze-Jennifer Grey dance scene from the 1987 film "Dirty Dancing."
"I loved it. He went for it, man," Peyton told The Post Game's Jeff Fedotin when asked about the ad. "Eli's always been fearless … A lot of people wouldn't have the guts to do that."
He also joked about the preparation Eli put into the role.
"He said he studied a lot of film of 'Dirty Dancing,'" Peyton said. "It's a different kind of film to watch. It's not game film."
