Cardinals' schedule release video fumbles. Seahawks, Chargers score

[ASFN Admin]

Last season, the Arizona Cardinals earned praise for their NFL schedule release video, which included linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. performing an original song.

The encore did not receive the same acclaim.

Social media lambasted the Cardinals' 2026 NFL schedule release video, which included team mascot Big Red chatting with the mascots of the 2026 opponents in a chat.

Reaction to the video was overwhelmingly negative, with many slamming the use of AI.


One person's response? "I would've taken another Mack song over whatever the hell this is."

Get this AI slop out of here this is genuinely embarrassing. Awful team awful owner awful social team. We’re the joke of the league for a reason and you losers are the tip of the iceberg. You should feel ashamed

Why do you guys insist on making every minute of being a fan of your team a humiliation ritual, it's genuinely like you hate the city

Other NFL schedule release videos earn much different reaction​

What does a different kind of schedule release video from an NFL team look like?

The Los Angeles Chargers and Seattle Seahawks earned praise for their videos, much different reaction from the Cardinals' video.

should we REALLY make our schedule release video in halo?
