On Wednesday, all 32 NFL teams released their schedules for the 2025 season. As has been the case for the past few years, each team used a unique, creative approach when revealing its schedule.

While some managed to captivate fans with well-planned execution and presentation, others struggled due to poor visuals and cinematography.

5 worst schedule release videos of 2025 season

5) Miami Dolphins

Not even a narration by Zach Thomas could save this from being a disappointment when compared to the Dolphins' epic movie-inspired 2023 video. The 2024 "Fastest Schedule Release Video" may have been brief, but at least it fit the team's ethos perfectly - blindingly fast, just like their offense is supposed to be without injuries.

The Dolphins themselves were reduced to being backdrop figures, as the team opted for a simple tunnel-esque rundown.

4) Detroit Lions

In 2023, the Minnesota Vikings did something wonderful: they used a drone to fly around US Bank Stadium and highlight their opponents. This year, the Detroit Lions tried to do the same thing, but instead of strategically placed logos and hints, they went with helmets.

Many felt it was a reflection of what the team could become without Ben Johnson - bland. And it is a shame, because the NFC North is one of the best divisions in sports.

3) Buffalo Bills

What a complete waste of Allen Iverson this was. It is bad enough that he has almost no links to the city, but then handing him what appears to be a hard copy of the schedule, only to do nothing significant other than goof around with MVP Josh Allen and GM Brandon Beane, made this one of the worst schedule release videos.

Actual AI (artificial intelligence) might have been a better way of doing this...

2) Houston Texans

The Texans' video involved a bunch of fans linking up and anticipating their team's schedule. There was no originality or surprise factor.

1) Cincinnati Bengals

That question will be emerging within the heads of NFL fans everywhere, simply because of how bland the video is. Just a "credits" and practice footage? Even the defending champions, the Philadelphia Eagles did it better - Lombardi Trophy and all.
