George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States, took part in the Super Bowl 51 coin toss Sunday night less than a week after getting discharged from the hospital due to an illness.
The NFL passed along video of his appearance before the NFC champion Atlanta Falcons took on the AFC champion New England Patriots:
Bush was joined on the field by his wife, Barbara Bush, who also spent time in the hospital recently. His flip resulted in tails, a victory for the Falcons, who deferred to the second half.
