"Not only did Greg Jennings amaze us with his first touchdown, but he also came back to score a second touchdown during the big game," said Barry Westrum, Chief Marketing Officer, A&W® Restaurants. "No matter which football team you cheered for, everyone can score a delicious Papa Burger® Single made with 100 percent US Beef Steak Burger for just $.85 today thanks to him."

In 2009, A&W® Restaurants began a grassroots partnership with Greg Jennings and offered $.85 Papa Burger® Single to Green Bay residents if the receiver scored a touchdown during a game. The popularity of the program quickly expanded in 2010 to reward all Wisconsin residents with $.85 Papa Burger® Single. This year, the company extended the Perfect Pair offer to all of America with the first announcement on January 13, 2011, during the Divisional Playoffs. The offer was then extended on January 20, 2011, to the Conference Championships and again on February 3, 2011, for the big game.
