This year, their work might just take the cake. They took aim at two notable NFL media vets, Ian Rapoport and Jordan Schultz.
Referencing the infamous confrontation between the duo at the Indianapolis Starbucks during the scouting combine, the Chargers staged the scene in the Minecraft universe, making the entire video a Minecraft-infused production.
Fans ate it up! And so did the insiders themselves. Rapoport and Schultz, NFL Network and Fox veterans respectively, seemed to take it all in stride.
"Bro," Rapoport posted on Twitter in response to his cameo in the video.
"Well done," replied Schultz, with a few laughing emojis to boot.
"The Chargers set the standard every time," one fan commented.
"Chargers social media team is GOATED," another exclaimed.
"Common Chargers Social Media Team W," yet another chimed in.
The Chargers social media team is in a league of their own, with the Arizona Cardinals and Jacksonville Jaguars grabbing shining kudos for their creativity and humor as well.
The NFL's schedule release day has grown to be an event in its own way during the last few seasons. Fans anxiously hold their breath, waiting to find out when, where, and how their favourite teams will pave their 2025 season.
The social videos used to merely be an added perk or a fun, little idea - now they're the main event on days like this.
