On Sept. 9, 2012, Visa introduced the first of three national television commercials that bring to life the epic experiences that NFL fans can win through the Visa NFL Fan Offersprogram. “Interview” features Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis as he participates in post-game interviews that would be altogether routine if not for a surprising, pint-sized addition, along with her doting dad, to the reporter pool. “Interview” highlights the first experience available for fans to win via Visa NFL Fan Offers Sweepstakes: the opportunity to interview an NFL player.
