PLANO, Texas, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tostitos brand, one of the flagship brands from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division, is teaming up with the National Football League (NFL) to challenge football fans on their powers of prediction this season. Every week from now until Dec. 23, the Tostitos QB Matchup promotion encourages NFL football fans to pick the quarterback they believe will throw the most yards during Monday night's game for a chance to win weekly prizes – including autographed NFL memorabilia, EA SPORTS games or a year's supply of Tostitos tortilla chips.
To participate, fans can visit www.TostitosQBMatchup.com the week leading up to a Monday night game and follow the online instructions to register. Once registered, they can choose the NFL quarterback they believe will throw the most yards during each Monday night game. Fans who guess the correct quarterback each week are entered for a chance to win a weekly prize. The winner of the weekly prize will be announced every Wednesday following that week's Monday night game.
"The Tostitos QB Matchup promotion brings the fun and excitement of football directly to fans as they gear up for tailgates and parties this season," said Vesna Stojanovic, senior director of marketing, Frito-Lay North America. "The chances to win are directly tied to which quarterback throws the most yards which adds extra fun to Monday night's game."
Every participant is instantly rewarded for entering the Tostitos QB Matchup promotion with coupons for Tostitos tortilla chips and dips at participating retailers or discounts off purchases at NFLShop.com or EASPORTSSTORE.com. Fans can also access the promotion from their mobile phones or by texting "QB" to shortcode 24477 (chips) to receive the URL for the promotion. Message and data rates apply.
