TOGETHER WE MAKE FOOTBALL Continues Tomorrow on TODAY
By: Tyler Peterson Oct. 29, 2015
Tomorrow's "Together We Make Football" segment on TODAYfeatures members of the Green Bay Packers who appeared in the NBCUniversal movie Pitch Perfect 2.
Following the first Pitch Perfect movie, Packers offensive lineman David Bakhtiari and teammates Clay Matthews, Josh Sitton, T.J. Lang, and Don Barclay exchanged tweets quoting the film.
After hearing about the sequel, Bakhtiari took to Twitter, looking for an opportunity to be a part of Pitch Perfect 2. Bakhtiari sent tweets to the film's stars while keeping a series of quotes going with his teammates. Eventually his tweets were picked up by the Packers beat writers.
The article grabbed the attention of Pitch Perfect 2 producer Elizabeth Banks, who also directed and starred in the movie. The result is a cameo to remember.
Sunday Night Football, television's No. 1 primetime show, continues this Sunday, Nov. 1, when the Denver Broncos host the Green Bay Packers. 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.
