New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was burned in the Los Angeles Chargers' schedule release video.

Mike Vrabel could have had it so much worse. Apparently given free rein by the NFL to poke fun at the New England Patriots coach and his alleged affair with Dianna Russini, former NFL insider at The Athletic, in their schedule release videos, only the Los Angeles Chargers took advantage .

They’ve trolled the Atlanta Falcons for that epic Super Bowl collapse and thrown shade at former Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer. They took a (deserved) shot at Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker for his misogynistic commencement speech.
