Like the combine and Draft, the NFL has created yet another “must-see-TV” experience in the league’s schedule release night, and on Wednesday night, they did just that with an hours-long special dedicated to the 2024 schedule.
While the shows on the NFL Network and ESPN were for hardcore fans who wanted analysis and previews, most turned to the teams’ social media accounts for another year of humorous announcements.
Last year’s winner was the Tennessee Titans, who took to the streets to ask fans to identify the Titans’ opponents for the 2023 season.
This year, the Titans returned to Broadway to once again ask fans to identify the teams Tennessee will be playing this season. Only this time they asked “Red Stallion Girl” for assistance.
There were some other outstandingly creative videos, including the Chargers, who went “The Sims” route to clown their opponents; and when it comes to the Raiders, they literally did just that.
The Steelers brought back James Harrison to see if players could make him laugh with “Dad jokes”, which was a scary experience for most of them.
The Colts went back to school to get 2nd graders to help them with their schedule release.
The Patriots got Julian Edelman, Gronk and a Boston accent to help with their schedule release video.
The Jets went to Central Park for their video.
The Eagles tapped into the Philly attitude for their video.
And their hated NFC East rival decided to prank call people.
There were many more, but these were some of the funniest. Overall, it was a great day for NFL teams and their fans.
Now if only the season could start tomorrow.
