NFL schedule 2018: The five best team releases on social media image

The release of the full 2018 NFL schedule Thursday gave teams a chance to flex their creative muscles.

While some teams opted for a simple image to announce their schedules (c'mon, Washington Redskins, lift your game), other teams went all out.

2018 NFL SCHEDULE: Regular-season slates for all 32 teams

Here are the top five NFL schedule releases:

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars win the award for cutest reveal in a landslide.

The team dressed up a host of rosy-faced youngsters to represent their 2018 opponents, but it was the little touches that made the video truly memorable.

A Giants baby clutching a big apple, a Chiefs baby snacking on ribs; and a Bills baby considering a jump through a table are our personal favorites.

New York Jets

The Jets won over fans with a throwback effort, showing off their schedule through the lens of a resounding Luigi win in Mario Kart.

Time will tell if the Jets' season is as successful as Luigi's race.

Chicago Bears

The production value of the Bears' reveal was incredible, with the team presented as a band of cartoon superheroes.

The "Monsters of the Midway" logo is sweet, although some of the specialties assigned to each opponent felt a tad forced.

Are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers really known for their "savage onslaught"? 

Houston Texans

The Texans' effort was simple but entertaining, as they placed star players in the classic Backyard Football video game. 

Andrew Luck's beard somehow looks even worse in cartoon form than it does in real life.

Also, who knew Rob Gronkowski saying "Gronk spike!" could actually be kind of cute?

Buffalo Bills

Like Jacksonville, the Bills also went the cute route, opting for furry friends instead of tiny humans.

Bruno the French Bulldog sporting a patented Bill Belichick cutoff hoodie was a nice touch.
