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.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott could be making a rare tweak to his accessories this season.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott could be making a rare tweak to his accessories this season. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In this age of on-demand viewership - with social media highlights, constant studio analysis shows, behind-the-scenes footage transcending just the game broadcast - football is as accessible as ever. Advertisement And naturally, most people's eyes are drawn to the quarterback when they watch. So his on-field "look" is as dissected as any player out there. Some players take pride in their assortment of accessories, as if they are playing a real-life version of the Madden video game where each arm sleeve and wristband equips a new attribute to their customizable player performance. Players don't always carefully craft their aesthetic, but die-hard fans tend to notice and care. Especially if the look becomes a signature style for the player after many years. That is the case for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who has worn the double long sleeve look under his pads for a while now. Advertisement Cowboys Nation has grown accustomed to their QB1's appearance, but nostalgic highlights of Dak's breakout rookie season in 2016 offer a different flavor from when he used to rock a default sleeveless look. For some time, fans have called for Prescott to update his on-field accessories with something new. Maybe this desire is fans' latest delusion that a new look will get the Cowboys closer to a Super Bowl. Well, Dak may be taking them up on the idea. At OTAs this offseason, Prescott has been seen wearing one arm sleeve rather than his usual two. His practice attire has cycled through different looks in other summers, but has still led to his traditional game-day fit in the fall, so this shouldn't be looked too much into. Advertisement But in a behind-the-scenes video of the Cowboys taking part in "picture day", a subtle tweak to Prescott's look has sent fans into a frenzy, thinking he could actually be making a change for the 2025 season. These pictures and videos are used for various marketing efforts throughout the season, like posters and hype videos shown on the AT&T Stadium jumbotron during games. The idea is for players to wear their full uniform as it will look on the field, accessories and all - Overshown is wearing eight arm bands for those counting at home. However subtle a change, Dak has tweaked his arm sleeve lengths. Advertisement Stop the press! His right arm now features a short-sleeve cut with his left sleeve still at full length. The two sweatbands on his wrist complete the look, but those are pretty standard. At practice, Prescott has been more experimental with his right sleeve length, being seen letting his arm breathe completely at times. Maybe having less constriction on his throwing arm will help mobility? Or maybe his accessories have no bearing on his physical performance and it's simply time for a fresh up. Either way, Cowboys fans are excited about the prospect of a "new-look" Dak. "One sleeve Dak official 🔥" one fan wrote. Advertisement "DAKS AURA OMGGG" another added in appreciation of Prescott's eye-catching change. "Single sleeve in promotional material???" said another hopeful. Dak's aesthetic on the field doesn't dictate his performance in anyway, but it could still draw as much attention from crazed fans (and haters) as much as his touchdown total. Regardless of the level of intrigue, these are the types of things that fill the minds of football fanatics during this offseason lull. What Cowboys fans should really care about is how much the team increases their win total - not Dak's arm-sleeve total - at the end of the season.

Brian Schottenheimer's Cowboys Culture Change Goes Greek
Brian Schottenheimer's Cowboys Culture Change Goes Greek originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - Call us skeptical, but it's difficult to get too excited about a supposed "culture change" in June when NFL pads are still six weeks from poppin'. Advertisement We know, last year Dan Quinn was hired by the Washington Commanders and he changed their culture. Jayden Daniels helped too, right? Same with the stern disciplinarian that was Bill Belichick in New England. Funny how his "Patriot Way" culture didn't really amount to much until Tom Brady went under center. There is a buzz at The Star - one that is being amplified with the fan boy websites x 1,000 - about how new head coach Brian Schottenheimer has transformed the Dallas Cowboys' culture this offseason. First he re-arranged the chairs in the locker room. Installed a ping-pong table. Basketball free-throw contests. Bought the whole staff Whataburger one day. Took players on a surprise field trip to play paintball. And now ... Greek dancing? Seems Schottenheimer took the Cowboys' quarterbacks on some sort of Greek outing recently. There is video of Dak Prescott, Will Grier and Joe Milton dancing amongst the Greek tradition of throwing and breaking plates. Advertisement Schottenheimer has lauded the "juice" he has injected into the team. Prescott, so far, seems to embrace the activities aimed at improving camaraderie. "Energy 100 percent, a lot of it ... and starting from Schotty and down to the coaches," Prescott said during OTAs. "I mean, he did a hell of a job of calling out the coaches in that instance yesterday and making sure that they're accountable to that. And just to hear their response—and not only their response—the way that they approached practice and the way that they administered some energy and brought it themselves and made sure their players in each position group had it—collectively, you felt it out there in the practice yesterday and obviously today as well." Charming. But ... will it make any difference at all on the football field? Advertisement It was just two years ago that the Cowboys' "culture" was good enough to win 12 games and make the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. If the organization really wants - needs? - a culture change, it would have to start at the top with Jerry Jones. Right? Bill Parcells tried to change the Cowboys' culture by having long, deep-dive talks with his players. Dave Campo instituted a rule in which players wore hard hats and punched a time clock at training camp. Those tricks sorta lost their steam when the coaches trotted out quarterbacks such as Quincy Carter and Chad Hutchinson. Jimmy Johnson always gets credit for his hard-nosed culture at Valley Ranch in the 1990s - "asthma field" ring a bell? - but, again, we tend to think Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin had more to do with the success. Said Schottenheimer during OTAs, "We've spoken very openly about trying to create one of the greatest cultures in professional sports." Advertisement Remains to be seen whether Greek dancing will help create one of the greatest teams in the NFL.
