Chargers roast Broncos in schedule release video

While the Broncos and Chargers prepare to face off on the field, their social media teams faced off on Twitter for the schedule release.

Every year, NFL teams release creative videos on social media to announce their schedules. This year, the Denver Broncos had Peyton Manning and Angela Kinsey announce their schedule in a video inspired by The Office.

Manning and the Broncos did a great job, but the Los Angeles Chargers probably have them beat.

The Chargers took creative jabs at everyone on their schedule in an anime-style video. For their first game against Denver, L.A. showed quarterback Russell Wilson in a showdown with Patrick of SpongeBob SquarePants.

That is, of course, a reference to last season when Patrick said “that’s not what he wanted to cook” after Wilson threw an interception during Nickelodeon’s broadcast of a Broncos-Rams game on Christmas.

For their second game against Denver, the Chargers showed coach Sean Payton smashing up Wilson’s personal office at the team’s facility. He also broke up a sign on the wall that said “Let’s Ride.”

Wilson faced criticism last year for having his own office and staff at the team’s facility. Payton kicked Wilson’s personal quarterback coach out of the facility this offseason.

The Broncos also took a jab at the Chargers in their schedule release video with Kinsey making a reference to choking.

Well done, social media teams.

Watch: Jaylon Smith records first INT of his career in Week 17

The Cowboys middle LB comes up with the game’s first turnover.

The linebacker play has devolved in 2019 for the Cowboys. Despite his big contract, Jaylon Smith hasn’t been able to recreate the spark he had in 2018 when he emerged as a Pro-Bowl caliber player. Instead, he’s had shaky coverage issues before and after his reassignment to middle linebacker in Leighton Vander Esch’s absence.

None of those issues were apparent on the Cowboys first defensive drive, though. On third and long, Smith was able to intercept a third-consecutive incomplete pass to start the game by Redskins starter Case Keenum.

The pic was Smith’s first of his career. Dallas now has an anemic seven interceptions on the year.

The Cowboys needed to convert a 4th-and-1 to keep the earned possession, and did so on an Ezekiel Elliott run where he was slow to get up and the Washington defender who made the big hit needing to be taken off the field on a stretcher.
