This is not the first time McDonald’s and NFL have partnered to earn the love of NFL fans, as a Super Bowl sponsor. NFL and McDonald’s have earlier teamed up for NFL Rush zone themed kids meals.

According to AdAge, “The idea for the promotion came from McDonald’s, but we certainly have collaborated with the NFL throughout the development of the promotion,” said Douglas Freeland, director of sports and entertainment alliances at McDonald’s”.

The campaign plays out the value of the prize with ardent supporters of teams switch loyalty in anticipation of winning the prize. The spots are unique as they play on humor associated with the awkward situation that arises when a 49ers fan looks on at,  San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mr. Rice proudly displaying a Dallas Cowboys star in his lawn. In another spot the situation played out is the coach for Chicago Bears choosing Green Bay Packers merchandise.
