Tomorrow's "Together We Make Football" segment on TODAY highlights Seattle Seahawks fans David and Sarah Webber.

Their story revolves around a twist of fate meeting in 2007, involving the Seahawks 2006 Wild Card playoff win and a little bit of luck - were it not for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's fumble and Seahawks safety Jordan Babineaux's tackle, David and Sarah likely would never have met. They are now married with ONE CHILD and a second on the way.

David, a massive Seahawks fan his entire life, had moved from Seattle to Wisconsin for work. Known more as Packers than 12th Man territory, David had no one to accompany him to Chicago to attend Seattle's Divisional Playoff game against the Chicago Bears. David took to MySpace to find other Seahawks fans to attend the game with and ended up finding Sarah. Although she was back in Seattle, they had an instant connection and ended up meeting and marrying.

Sunday Night Football, television's No. 1 primetime show, continues this Sunday, Sept. 20, when Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (1-0) host Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks (0-1) in a 2014 NFC Championship rematch from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisc. Coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET with Football Night in America, the most-watched studio show in sports.

ABOUT "TOGETHER WE MAKE FOOTBALL"

The National Football League and NBC present weekly segments on TODAY for "Together We Make Football," an invitation to anyone inspired by the game of football - whether as a player at any level, coach or a fan - to share their story for a chance to win a trip to SUPER BOWL 50.

The campaign will unfold weekly throughout the NFL season with segments airing every Friday on TODAY.

Fans can visit TODAY.COM/TWMF now and share a video or photo, with a description detailing how football inspires them. Stories submitted through Monday, November 2, will be entered into the CONTEST that will produce a winner of a trip to SUPER BOWL 50 in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Following the deadline for submissions, a joint NFL and NBC panel will select five finalists whose stories will be turned into short features by NFL Films. The features will be unveiled weekly on TODAY beginning Friday, December 4 and the winning story will be announced live on TODAY on January 8, 2016.

This is the latest iteration of the "Together We Make Football" campaign that launched in 2013. Over the past two years, thousands of fans shared their stories of what football means to them. A select few had their stories told on TODAY and some even won trips to Super Bowl.

Stories that air on TODAY also will be posted on NFL.com/videos/twmf throughout the season.
