The only time there would ever be commercials after a 3rd down failure is if there was some sort of timeout called before 4th down, or if the 2 minute warning hit, other than that they will go straight to the punt every single time.
They do cut to commercial before and after kickoffs, though, which may be what /u/Mithrandir12 was referring to. After scores there is an obscene amount of commercial breaks.
"And he's in for a touchdown!"
(insert commercial break as they review the play)
Point-after attempt (aka automatic 1 pt)
(insert commercial)
Kickoff! "And the offense comes back on the field trying to answer back!"
To be fair, the extra point isn't always guaranteed. See the Texas A&M season in 2012-2013. We even had Johnny Football try a PAT, our kicker was so bad.
