The league-wide 2020 NFL schedule was released last night. All 32 teams released their respected schedules on their social media platforms 30 minutes before the national networks such as NFL Network and ESPN had the chance. And of course, just like last year, these teams put their creative minds to the test by posting them in fun, unique ways on Twitter. Some used animation, some played trivia, used popular television shows and some teams even used this as an opportunity to thank the frontline workers.
Let’s take a look at some of the top schedule releases.
New Orleans Saints – Helping off the field
It’s schedule release day ?
And we’re doing things a little different this time around.

This was beautifully done by the New Orleans Saints media team. You will get chills watching this video.
Carolina Panthers – Bored in the house

This is by far the most creative one of all 32 NFL teams in my most humbled opinion. Starting from the waking up in the morning to looking at the stars at night. Has everything from a music video type feel, stuck at home and bored, Netflix, Tiger King, Ramen Noodles and even Harry Potter. This is how you release a schedule people! Panthers social team killed this.
Denver Broncos – Full House
You wanted the schedule?
You got it, dude. pic.twitter.com/qxRtusUVGJ

This might be a biased opinion, but I am a big fan of Full House! No, not the newer versions on Netflix, but the old school Full house. This shows the players creativity, plus the ending is great with John Elway. Bravo Broncos, bravo.
Chicago Bears – Animation

I think the Bears did a great job here and I’m guessing this took a lot longer than expected. Animation is not the easiest thing to do, but when pulled off right you get this type of final result. This is entertaining.
Dallas Cowboys – Thank you frontline workers
Thank you to the frontline workers who have helped us announce the 2020 #DallasCowboys schedule. We couldn’t get back to football without you! ?

I love this. The Dallas Cowboys always find a way to wow everyone and this was definitely another example of that. They had frontline workers announce their schedule and then had a variety of Cowboys’ players thank them as well. Class act, as always. Oh, and hi Jerry Jones.
Houston Texans – Kids drawings

I like this one only because they used kids drawings for their schedule release. These kids had to love this when they saw their drawings on the Texans social media channels.
Philadelphia Eagles – Streaming Service
Who’s ready to watch with us?#FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/3znFyDgofr

I personally may not like the Eagles, but I can give credit where credit is due. Using a streaming service and different shows to announce who they will play is pure genius.
My favorite is Week 11.
The one I hate…Week 16. Personal reasons.
