NFL fans react to Chargers’ subtle jab at Vrabel-Russini scandal

Every year, each team in the NFL puts exceedingly more effort into creating terrific season schedule release videos.

This year was no different as all 30 teams officially posted their 2026 schedule reveals videos, but one team stood out for a wild reference in their video.

The Los Angeles Chargers have become infamous for their top-tier schedule releases and this year they took a subtle jab at the scandal involving New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and former NFL insider Dianna Russini.

Vrabel and Russini have both come under public scrutiny after the New York Post published numerous photos of the two kissing, hugging and interlocking fingers on several occasions over the last six years.

The Chargers subtly, yet hilariously, referenced this scandal when revealing their Week 12 matchup with the Patriots.

The Patriots weren’t the only team in L.A.’s crosshairs though, they poked fun at virtually every team on their schedule.

All in all, every team did a very solid job with their schedule releases, but the Chargers were once again on another level this year.
