Los Angeles Chargers Win NFL Schedule Release Day Again With 'Sims' Theme
The Los Angeles Chargers have Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach, and a new top-5 draft pick for fans to get excited about. But one thing's stayed the same; their social media team always nails the NFL schedule release.
In 2023, the Chargers went after the Las Vegas Raiders and their fans with an incredible troll that sent rival fans to a "get a job" Google result.
And if you thought they'd take the 2024 NFL schedule release day off, you'd be sorely mistaken. If anything, they went even harder.
The Chargers official X account posted "should we REALLY make our schedule release video in the sims?" before spelling out "NO" with a series of "yes's." Amazing enough. But the video really does have the other teams as Sims characters, before going after the Raiders again.
The whole thing is a must-watch, but one of the first sequences depicts a sim wearing a Raiders jersey being dressed up in sad clown makeup. The best.

Los Angeles Chargers May Not Always Win On The Field, But They Win Our Hearts
Other highlights include a naked sim running through the streets of New Orleans for the matchup against the Saints, and a John and Jim Harbaugh-themed pillow fight for the game against the Baltimore Ravens.
They even went after Tom Brady and Gronk, showing a retirement home with sims wearing Brady and Gronk jerseys.
The Chargers social media team just doesn't miss.
The team though, often misses. This year's schedule sets up well for Harbaugh's first year, with matchups against the Panthers, Cardinals and Patriots, all some of the NFL's worst teams in 2023.
