To depict this showdown, the Chargers decided to utilize Andrew Luck in the video. They showcased him flagging off a QB Grand Prix race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Luck expressed his gratitude for being honored in such a way by the Chargers.

"Dearest mother- Word has reached me that the Lighting Men from a region where angels are aplenty honored me in their upcoming campaign proclamation. It seems the bulletin revolved around the news of mines and crafting. Glorious. Please tell the sheep. They will be elated-Andrew." Luck wrote in the tweet.
