- Criticism focused on lack of creativity and engagement
Every NFL team had the opportunity to get creative and have some fun when it came time to release their 2026 regular-season schedule. The Arizona Cardinals chose to put together an AI-made Zoom meeting of NFL mascots, trading digs at each other.
It has been criticized by many.
The Athletic ranked all 32 schedule release videos, as the Cardinals' came in dead last.
The Cardinals used AIĀ to bring together a Zoom meeting of the mascots. I found it hard to keep up with the chat while also watching the mascots interact on camera. Some highlights include the Chargers going offline when their mascot is called out for not being real (the Chargers donāt have a mascot), and the Raidersā mascot stalking quarterback Fernando Mendoza onĀ LinkedInĀ during the ending clips. But overall, not my favorite.
The Cardinals have taken losses on the field. They have been mocked for the way they handled their quarterback situation and how they came to a new head coach. Taking a loss with something creative is just the latest way they can't seem get things going their way.
