Jaguars fans might reluctantly praise the Colts schedule release video

Teams tend to get creative for the NFL schedule release, and this year was no different. The Jacksonville Jaguars posted a video of Trevor Lawrence getting a new haircut, but it ultimately turned out to be fake. But as creative as the Jags and No. 16 were, you could make the case that the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans also have compelling announcements.

The Titans had someone look for people who resemble football players or coaches on the street. However, Indy probably took the cake because it showed massive awareness of its schedule release.

The Colts acknowledge they haven't beat the Jaguars at EverBank in years

The Colts dropped a Simpsons-themed schedule announcement. Beyond getting it right by going with such a legacy brand, they proved that they're not afraid to poke a bit of fun at themselves.

At the 0:23 mark, you can see a sign that says 4,251 days without a win in Jacksonville. That's because the last time Indy beat the Jags at EverBank Stadium was in the distant year of 2014. For context, Andrew Luck was still their quarterback, while there was still hope that wide receiver Justin Blackmon was going to put it all together. That's how long it's been.

In the clip, the Colts also took the L for making a reference to then Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill being arrested and Pat Mahomes getting into a fight in their announcement last year. It's kind of refreshing to see that kind of self-awareness and not take yourself too seriously.

And in case you haven't seen it, here's the video of Trevor Lawrence proving that his haircut was fake.

And here's the original clip, where Lawrence alledgedly cut his hair.

The Jaguars will be looking to beat the Colts next season

The Jaguars will face Indianapolis for the first time next season in Week 7, right after they have their BYE. This means that they should be at full strength when they play the dreaded AFC South foe. The fact that the game will be at EverBank Stadium should incentivize the Jags to extend the Colts' losing streak in Duval to 12 games. But wait, there's more!

Jacksonville will face off against the Colts in the season finale. The date has yet to be announced, but there's a chance the division title or a playoff seed could be at stake. This will turn the game up a notch, and all the way to 11. Because think about, what better way to seize the AFC South championship or the top seed (if it's in play) than beating a team the Jags despise.

Of course, there's a long way to go, but you can bet that the Jaguars already circle both games in the calendar, because there's no better feeling than beating a division rival. Heck, the Jags are expected to be a formidable team next season, so don't be surprised if they manage to sweep Indianapolis.
