Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans enlisted the help of the 'Red Stallion Girl' for the second year in a row, creating a viral video with humorous fan interactions.
The Cleveland Browns embraced a movie theme, drawing inspiration from 'The Big Lebowski' for their schedule release video. The video featured star players in a bowling alley setting, with a cameo by PBA legend Pete Weber.
The Los Angeles Chargers utilized the popular video game franchise 'The Sims' for their schedule release, garnering significant attention on social media. The Atlanta Falcons also embraced the video game theme, opting for an 'NFL Street' approach.
The Chicago Bears incorporated 1980s movie references, particularly from 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off,' in their schedule release. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen showcased his comedic side by impersonating Andy Dwyer from 'Parks and Recreation.'
