Here are the best schedule release announcements from around the NFL. We looked at them all and these were the 11 best.

Game of Thrones - Texans

The Texans were one of three teams to try Game of Thrones. They nailed it. As did the Falcons. Washington stunk.


Game of Thrones - Falcons

Another Game of Thrones inspired one. Watch for the digs at the various teams, especially the Saints.


Video Games - Panthers

Just incredible by Carolina to use so many different video games. Their bye week, 49ers game, and Texans game were my favorites.


Stock Footage - Chargers

There is so much stock footage out there I am not sure how they chose these exactly.


City Facts with Andrew Luck - Colts

Perhaps the most on brand move of any team. Luck actually drops some good trivia here.


Swipe Right - Bills

The bios for the teams are great. Cleveland and Washington were the best in my opinion.


Tracy Morgan TV Show Puns - Giants

He yells and makes puns. I loved it.


Poetry and Haiku - Vikings

Just the right level of creative but ridiculous.


Group Chat Blowing Up - Lions

I knocked it at first because it was initially hard to see but make it big and there are so many little things in here that are perfect.


Famous Fans - Eagles

I was wondering if any team would solicit famous fans. Philly has some stars, and has-beens, in here.


Bad Lip Reading - Patriots

I laugh at these videos every year and I laughed at this one.


WORST VIDEO OF THE BUNCH - Infomercial - Jaguars

It is five minutes and not funny once.

Cam Smith hit an RBI single in the eighth inning to give the Houston Astros a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday.

The rookie's second hit of the game came off Orion Kerkering (5-3) and gave the Astros their fourth straight win.

Brandon Marsh tied the game on a sacrifice fly in the top of the inning to end the Phillies' 26-inning scoreless streak.

The Astros took a 1-0 lead on Yainer Diaz’s RBI single in the second inning. They only managed three more hits off Phillies starter Christopher Sanchez, who struck out 11 with zero walks over six innings. Sanchez has not issued a walk in three straight starts.

Hunter Brown lowered his league best ERA to 1.74 by scattering three singles over seven shutout innings, with nine strikeouts. He did not allow a runner to reach second base.

Bryan Abreu (3-3) struck out Trea Turner to end the eighth, and then struck out Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm, and Nick Castellanos in the ninth.

Abreu joined Julia Morales after the game and talked about his impressive performance!

Rafael Marchán had two of the Phillies' four hits. Bryson Stott reached base twice and scored the Phillies' lone run.

Key moment

Smith’s RBI.

Brown’s 1.74 ERA is the fourth best in Astros history through 16 starts and the best since Justin Verlander posted a 1.60 ERA through 16 starts in 2018.
