A few highlights: NFL legend Reggie Bush stars in another of a series of Wendy’s ads hyping its breakfast offerings; this one promotes its current $1.99 offer on select breakfast croissants. A couple decides to move to get away from a crazy cat lady in the latest from Rocket Mortgage. And Larry of Lucky Larry’s Landscaping endures a bit of vehicle-related bad luck in a Progressive spot.
