Minnesota Wild hit with cheap shot in Chargers' NFL schedule release video
They're not just an eight-time quarterfinal playoff runner-up, the Minnesota Wild are THE eight-time quarterfinal playoff runner-up. Get it right, Chargers.
The Wild, losers of eight straight first-round playoff series going back to 2015, were the victim of a cheap shot in the schedule release video issued by the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers on Wednesday night.
The video is formatted like the popular video game Minecraft. In the segment featuring the Vikings, a Minecraft version of Jefferson Jefferson blows a Gjallarhorn before a video game figure of Kevin O'Connell enters a room showcasing a handful of notable disses.
The biggest diss was the green Wild banner saying "8-time quarterfinal runner-up."
The second biggest diss was a purple Vikings banner mocking them as the team from 2024 with the "best record among Wild Card teams."
The video also pays homage to the "Jucy Lucy," Minnesota's famous cheese-stuffed burgers, along with the popular Twitter account "Timberwolves Brasil."
There's also a TV screen with Vikings defensive players from last year and a subtitle that reads, "Dance Lessons: See you in two weeks." That's clearly a nod to the Vikings' viral touchdown and turnover celebrations from last season.
