The Top 10 NFL schedule release videos

9) Chicago Bears

Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze did his best Bob Ross impersonation with a “happy little matchups” schedule release video. If that’s really his painting, then he might have a future not just on the gridiron but on your local PBS affiliate.

8) Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers schedule release video went full Yinzer, celebrating all things Pittsburgh culture. But nothing was better then seeing french fries put in everything from Jell-o to coffee to smoothies. “Does everything have to have fries on it?” The answer is yes.

7) New York Giants

Who else but Jameis Winston could be featured in the Giants schedule release video? The execution is also great with a brand new idea that sees Jameis try to draw pictures representing the Giants opponents and giving away Giants tickets to fans who can guess them correctly.

6) Cleveland Browns

The Browns schedule release video came straight out of the 90s with a vintage Street Fighter arcade video with perfect graphics for both the video game and accompanying segments that look like they are from Saved By the Bell. Time will tell if this is the highlight of the Browns’ season.

5) Atlanta Falcons

Matt Ryan steals the show as the new President of Football in a schedule release video that channels the classic This is SportsCentercommercials with several shorts. The best of which might be Bijan Robinson poking fun at the confusion over how exactly to pronounce his first name.

4) Tennessee Titans

The Titans schedule release videos are the stuff of legend after interviewing people in Nashville that had no idea who the team logos were. This year, the team put a different spin on the man on the street vibe by finding doppelgangers representing various opponents including a gentlemanly British chap as Jerry Jones. A unique spin on a classic schedule release trend.

3) Las Vegas Raiders

Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins parodying Step Brothers? Yes, please.

2) Indianapolis Colts

The Colts drew inspiration from one of the most reliable forms of comedy in the history of humankind – the glory days of The Simpsons. It started with a clever original intro that even made fun of the team’s Tyreek Hill reference in last year’s video that got them in trouble. The schedule was then unveiled in a simple but effective montage of classic Simpsons clips to describe each one of their opponents on the schedule. Hilarious, nostalgic, and full of laughs.

1) Los Angeles Chargers

The unquestioned kings of schedule release videos have done it again. This year the Chargers went with a Halo theme and it was an epic masterpiece. Any video that starts with the iconic Halo 3 menu music is an automatic win. We were all waiting for a Dianna Russini-Mike Vrabel reference and the Chargers delivered in a very subtle way. But what puts this video on the top spot of the podium is all the easter eggs throughout the video and the incredible details. Raiders fans in jail, Keon Coleman’s love of cookies, Donna Kelce’s home remodel, C.J. Stroud’s infamous mentoring of Caleb Williams, and so much more.
