The NFL is releasing the 2025 schedule with an entire show at 8 p.m. Wednesday. Each NFL team will also launch its own video on social media.
Here is our ranking of the Bills' NFL schedule release videos over the last five years — from Josh Allen living in a pit to his 'None of this means anything' moment— based on creativity, execution, and entertainment value. Buffalo's 2019 dating app parody is also worth a look. We'll update the rankings after the club releases its 2025 video.
5. 2020 - Appreciation for essential workers during COVID-19
Heartfelt and timely. Amid the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, men and women on the frontlines fighting the virus took center stage in announcing the schedule. The video featured hospital workers, law enforcement, and one of the Bills' most beloved superfans—swapping his gameday costume for a firefighter uniform.
4. 2022 - Absurdist comedy of an Adult Swim show
Intentionally awkward and offbeat. Dawson Knox eating chicken wings, Tommy Sweeney on guitar, Isaiah McKenzie as a doctor, Gabriel Davis eating cake with his hands, Tim Settle painting and Josh Allen riding a stuffed dog. Knox and Allen caressed hands. It was a riff off the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! on Adult Swim. A parody of a parody. If you've seen the show, likely hilarious. If you haven't, probably confusing — which is the point. "None of this means anything."
3. 2021 - Demolishing the opponents
Slow-motion closeups of stuff being destroyed is always satisfying. Especially when it involves props symbolizing your opponents. Rockets, torches, chainsaws, crossbows and steamrollers were used to wreck items like a Terrible Towel and trumpet. Bonus points for the unbroken folding table left for the bye week.
2. 2023 - Making Bills players' childhood dreams come true
Brandon Beane doesn't just make dreams come true with contracts. Started strong with Josh Allen as a paperboy and the Steve Tasker prank. Lost a little steam. Allen riding a bicycle through the team facility has proven to have lasting meme success. Should've shined Sean McDermott head at the end.
1. 2024 - Josh Allen resides at the new stadium construction site
Josh Allen lives in the pit at New Highmark Stadium. Quirky and charming. Chris Pratt's Andy Dwyer character on Parks and Recreation vibes.

3 quick takeaways from Episode 3 of the Buffalo Bills on HBO's 'Hard Knocks'
The Buffalo Bills were back at it again on HBO's "Hard Knocks." It was the third episode of the NFL's offseason program for the team and there were many behind-the-scenes looks given to fans. Did you miss the bits from it? Maybe not watch it yet? Here are three quick takeaways from this week's episode: Ed Oliver horse It's well known that defensive tackle Ed Oliver is a fan of horses. In the past, video has surfaced of him riding one to practice and that even aired on this week's episode. The Houston native revealed he owns 30 horses and went into detail about his passion. James Cook saga ending When "Hard Knocks" got going, running back James Cook began his holdout. A behind-the-scenes look was expected that would be dramatic. Wrong. Instead his holdout ending was highlighted which was much more dull... but interesting nonetheless. General manager Brandon Beane features here. Pizza party The pizza parties the Bills' offensive line have been noted in the past. It happened more in-depth in this episode. Center Connor McGovern and his wife host one of them and "Hard Knocks" was invited.

YouTube Unveils Broadcasters For Platform's First-Ever Live NFL Game
On Tuesday, YouTube announced the broadcast talent for its first-ever live NFL game. The Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs will meet at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil on Sept. 5. Sports media veteran Rich Eisen, who is expected to once again appear on ESPN platforms following the company's recent acquisition of NFL Network, will serve as the play by play caller for the Week 1 matchup. It's the NFL's second consecutive year playing a regular season game in Brazil. Eisen will be joined by analyst and Super Bowl XXXIV champion Kurt Warner. Stacey Dales and YouTuber Donald De La Haye, who is also known as Deestroying, will both serve as sideline reporters for the free exclusive broadcast on the video platform, which has experienced a rise in recent years as a sports programming destination for media networks, leagues and teams. Deestroying, a former player at Central Florida, boasts more than 6.3 million subscribers on YouTube where he's documented his journey of trying to become an NFL kicker. He played for the UFL's San Antonio Brahmas over the last two seasons but was plagued by recurring injuries. Rules expert Terry McAulay will also join the YouTube broadcast. Meanwhile, sports media personality Kay Adams, who hosts the daily 'Up & Adams Show' on FanDuel TV, will host the on-site show in Brazil with Heisman Trophy winner and analyst Cam Newton, a three-time Pro Bowler and NFL Most Valuable Player in 2015. At the NFL Network's studios in Los Angeles, Brandon Marshall — a six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver across 13 seasons in the NFL — will moderate the conversation around the game in South America. He will be joined by analysts Derek Carr, who retired in May after an 11-year career mostly with the Las Vegas Raiders, and Tyrann Mathieu, a former standout defensive back at LSU and Super Bowl champion. Fantasy football analyst Peter Overzet will also provide commentary and analysis for the regular season game, which will feature Colombia singer Karol G as the halftime performer during the first-ever live NFL game on YouTube.

R&B Star Opens Up About Terrifying, Bloody Medical Episode: 'I Almost Died'
R&B star Tamar Braxton has revealed that she nearly died after experiencing a frightening health episode that resulted in several injuries over the weekend. The Grammy-nominated singer — one of the Braxton sisters — wrote in an update to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday that a friend found her 'in a pool of blood' with a fractured nose, some lost teeth and mobility issues on Sunday. 'I struggled to write this but everyone keeps calling me and honestly, I can't even really talk anymore I'm so weak,' she wrote. She later continued, 'As the days go by the worse it is. ... 💔💔the way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins… pray for me for real 💔💔💔💔I don't even know what happened to me 💔💔.' While it's unclear what led to the health scare, Braxton shared a post with the text 'Thank you God for waking me up today' just hours ahead of the update. Braxton has previously been open about her health, telling People magazine in 2021 that she 'chose to change' her life after surviving a suicide attempt the year prior. At the time, her then-boyfriend, David Adefeso, found her unresponsive while she was at her home with her son Logan (whom she shares with former husband Vincent Herbert) back in July 2020. 'That time of my life was so dark and so heavy,' she told the magazine. 'I didn't see how I was going to come out on the other side. I didn't even know that there was another side.' She later continued, 'Most people think, 'Oh, she went to a hotel, probably took a bunch of drugs, was on a binge.' It didn't happen like that. It was just everyday life, trying to figure out how to get through the day and then ...' In December 2022, she revealed that she was taken to the hospital after experiencing flu-like symptoms, noting that she couldn't breathe and her chest was 'on FIRE' at the time. She described the experience as worse than having COVID-19 before advising her followers to 'be careful' during the holidays.
