The NFL Schedule release videos are out and the sports and digital community are talking about it. In the past years, we have seen how each team has exhibited their creativity in using videos, animation and interactive materials like downloads and prints to announce their season schedule. See last year's announcement on Twitter and how they have promoted their videos on Facebook in 2017.
This year, we look at how the teams' digital media evolved and used their creativity and innovation to the extreme to create fan-engaging schedule release videos on their respective Twitter accounts. We ranked the videos according to the ones we think worked the most. Who's your top favourite?
Which matches are you looking forward to watch? Connect with Sports Geek on Facebook and Twitter and let's talk about it.

While using stock footage is unlikely, this one did work for the Chargers

Houston Texans
The second of the Game of Thrones themed vidoes. While the stadium features were nice, the game days were not so clear at first.
