  • The Chargers used a Halo-themed schedule video to mock opponents and fans.
  • The video focused on Donna Kelce’s TMZ-covered renovation for the first Chiefs game.
  • Chargers’ clips referenced past Chiefs controversies and on-field incidents.

The L.A. Chargers’ social-media team really knows how to hit fans of other teams where it hurts when it comes to their schedule release video.

The NFL shared the entire 272-game slate on Thursday night, and each team made a video of when they will be playing.

In the past, the Chargers have used The Sims and Minecraft videos for their release. This year, it’s Halo, and they again took shots at everyone on their schedule.

In March, TMZ caught heat for posting a story about the home renovations planned by Donna Kelce, the mother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The Chargers focused on that when highlighting their first game against the Chiefs.

One of the jokes included a welcome mat with the shape of the state of Kansas and the words “There’s no place like home.” That was a nod to the “Wizard of Oz” and the Chiefs’ plans to jump over state lines and play in Kansas in a new stadium.

There was also a reference to the “Free 4” shirts Chiefs players wore when Rashee Rice was serving his NFL suspension, a referee (who fans elsewhere think favor KC), the disgraced fan, KC Wolf, and a poster of the time Chargers safety Derwyn James bodyslammed Travis Kelce in a game.

The TMZ theme continued with the second game announcement. And, of course, the Chargers poked a lot of fun at everyone else they are playing.
