Ranking the best NFL team schedule release videos, from The Simpsons to Jameis Winston

The biggest one? Using Shedeur Sanders' likeness alongside Myles Garrett and other major players' characters early on.

The Browns' impending QB1 battle in preseason will feature Sanders along with Deshaun Watson and others. Cleveland's social media just gave the edge to Sanders, whether it meant to or not.

Indianapolis Colts schedule announced by The Simpsons

The Colts, after a 2025 Minecraft spoof (eventually taken down by the team) that included a dolphin wearing a Tyreek Hill jersey being chased by the Coast Guard, hit the target this season.

The Colts and The Simpsons created a mock Simpsons episode opening filled with easter eggs before announcing the team's schedule via old clips from the show.

And they did give a nod to the Hill reference from last year, as Bart Simpson wrote "We will not include Tyreek Hill in these videos" over and over again on the chalkboard at school.

Detroit Lions and a 30-second video to the point

If you have to watch every team's schedule release video, some can start to run together.

That's not to besmirch the fine social media groups across the league, because the videos are very interesting and creative.

But for originality, the Lions have an edge. What does a team with a serious coach put together after a disappointing season in 2025? A 30-second video to the point, with coach Dan Campbell pinning the full schedule to a board.

Message delivered.
