The 2024 NFL schedule has arrived, along with the battle of the pitching videos.
All 32 teams go above and beyond (some more than others) to create unique, dramatic or funny clips to announce their lineup for the upcoming season.
The Chargers’ Sims-inspired video has been making waves after the team took a subtle swipe at the Chiefs’ Harrison Butker.
The controversial kicker made sexist comments about women in the workforce last week, and the Los Angeles team had a savage response.
Here, sport mail has put together some of the best videos of scheduled releases of 2024.
Los Angeles Chargers
If this were the NFL’s Super Bowl of content, the Chargers would emerge victorious.
In their video, inspired by the video game The Sims, they mocked all of their opponents, including their AFC West rival, the Chiefs.
At the end of the clip, Butker is seen putting a cake in the oven and cleaning the kitchen counter, a clear allusion to his recent comments that women should be “housewives.”
Denver Broncos
The Broncos turned to seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton to announce their 2024 schedule.
The Mercedes driver, who is part of the team’s ownership group, tries tried-and-tested dishes from his opponents’ cities.
‘That’s prison food. That one really offended me,’ she said after eating grits, which represented the Carolina Panthers.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys called on Jerry Jones, Post Malone, Dak Prescott, Michael Irvin and internet personality TimTheTatman to make their launch video.
The FaceTime prank calling trend, popularized by the Kardashian family, featured the group of celebrities cold calling fans of their opposing teams.
The group sat in silence as they called people like Kristin Juszczyk, Bert Kreischer and Kay Adams, who seemed bewildered by the strange video call.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs kept it simple when announcing their 2024 lineup.
The reigning Super Bowl champions joined a popular TikTok trend, which featured several items being crushed by a hydraulic press.
Some highlights included peaches to represent the Falcons, a bunch of electrical wires for the Chargers, and a rubber horse to represent the Broncos.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers recruited former linebacker James “Deebo” Harrison for their hilarious pitching video.
In the clip, each of the players attempted to make the two-time Super Bowl champion laugh as they revealed their schedule for the upcoming season.
‘Why did the pony ask for a glass of water? Because he was a little hoarse,” Russell Wilson told a stone-faced Harrison.
New England Patriots
Former Patriots players Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski put their spin on several scenes from the iconic 1997 film, Good Will Hunting.
“My boy is very evil,” Gronkowski says at one point in the clip, imitating Boston royalty Ben Affleck.
Elsewhere in the hilarious video, a janitor imitates Matt Damon’s character when he says, “Hey, you like apples, how do you like apples?”
