According to the NFL, the ad was created for the Super Bowl but never aired so they brought it out for tonight’s game:

FWIW, most of the Oakland Raiders team took a knee for the National Anthem:

As did a few Redskins players. Of note, fans booed the players who sat it out:
Most of Raiders kneeling during anthem. A few Redskins on a knee, most locking arms standing. Many fans booing. Just an odd scene.
