The Steelers’ winning traditions were recently blasted by the Los Angeles Chargers’ schedule release video.
In 2021, the Chargers released their PowerPoint-styled schedule reveal, mocking their opponents in hilarious fashion — and ever since then, Los Angeles has released these annually. The Chargers followed with anime-themed schedule reveals in 2022 and 2023, as well as a 2024 reveal focused on The Sims.
Los Angeles took a different route in 2025 — a Minecraft-themed schedule release to capitalize on the success of the hit movie adaptation that took April by storm.
Complete with a chicken jockey movie reference, Sam Darnold leaving the Vikings for the Seahawks, and even acknowledging the recent George Pickens trade — the Chargers’ release video spared no feelings, especially not those of HC Mike Tomlin and his standard of finishing above .500 every season.
Chargers schedule release roasts ‘9-8’ Steelers:
The Steelers, who will face the Chargers in Week 10 on Sunday Night Football, were symbolized by a “Flint-and-Steel mine.” Two Minecraft avatars, who appeared to be Steelers fans, entered and took two different tracks — one labeled “contend” and the other “rebuild.” Both led straight into a pit of lava, but before they met their fate, Mike Tomlin was seen standing in a cave system by two signs that read “track ends in 9-8” and “We do not care.”
Both signs were clearly directed at the Steelers head coach, who the NFL world continues to praise for his inability to coach a losing season despite a poor playoff record — as well as for his infamous “we do not care” line.
This segment was clearly symbolic of Pittsburgh’s recent philosophy on whether or not to fully rebuild the team — and the Steelers’ refusal to commit led both tracks straight to their doom. Another hilarious dig included an Aaron Rodgers-themed avatar taking the perilous drop.
Clearly, the Chargers’ social media team — or whoever is in charge of these schedule release videos — deserves a raise. But what’s also evident is that Los Angeles will need to beware of the Steelers’ wrath when Pittsburgh comes to SoFi in Week 10 of the 2025 season.
