Patrick Mahomes was mid-season, so his time was fixed, and the whole Super Bowl film had to be made in one month instead of six.
The problem is documented by somebody with nothing to gain from the agency winning the work.
How we know
The work was delivered in one month against a Super Bowl air date rather than the usual six, using a body double trained by Mahomes' own throwing coach. The hero drone video took 96.5 million views on Instagram and 58.8 million on TikTok, adidas' most viewed post ever.
