The Seattle Seahawks decided to have some fun with their players ahead of the official NFL schedule release.
Seattle took to social media to share a 7-minute video of the prank which was all centered around a fake schedule. The team concocted a fake, brutal schedule for the upcoming season which included nuggets like no bye week after their trip to Germany, a four-game road stretch, a Thanksgiving Day game, AND a Christmas Day game.
The reactions from the players were priceless.

The prank went on for a few hours before the team revealed the schedule was a fake which was music to the players’ ears.
Well done, Seattle.
As for the real 2022-23 NFL regular season schedule, that will be released tonight in primetime on ESPN. While we don’t know the exact dates, we do know that the Seahawks will be playing each of their division rivals twice, along with the Falcons, Panthers, Broncos, Raiders, Giants, and Jets at home, while games against the Saints, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Chargers, and Lions will be on the road.
