Every year, NFL teams release creative videos on social media to announce their schedules. This year, the Denver Broncos had Peyton Manning and Angela Kinsey announce their schedule in a video inspired by The Office.
Manning and the Broncos did a great job, but the Los Angeles Chargers probably have them beat.
The Chargers took creative jabs at everyone on their schedule in an anime-style video. For their first game against Denver, L.A. showed quarterback Russell Wilson in a showdown with Patrick of SpongeBob SquarePants.

That is, of course, a reference to last season when Patrick said “that’s not what he wanted to cook” after Wilson threw an interception during Nickelodeon’s broadcast of a Broncos-Rams game on Christmas.
For their second game against Denver, the Chargers showed coach Sean Payton smashing up Wilson’s personal office at the team’s facility. He also broke up a sign on the wall that said “Let’s Ride.”
We need to talk more about the Chargers’ schedule video.
It’s the details that matter. The horse with a cap reading, “Sean.” A smashed-up desk and wall. A “Let’s Ride sign.” A copy of “Modern Bathroom Montly.” All this in a room labeled “Russ Personal Office.” pic.twitter.com/t1HFgwhEwU

Wilson faced criticism last year for having his own office and staff at the team’s facility. Payton kicked Wilson’s personal quarterback coach out of the facility this offseason.
The Broncos also took a jab at the Chargers in their schedule release video with Kinsey making a reference to choking.
