The NFL released the full 2025 schedule on Wednesday, and many teams' social media pages took the opportunity to release creative videos to celebrate the occasion.
The Cleveland Browns were one team that did this, as Cleveland released a near two-minute video of the team's mascot, Brownie the Elf, revealing the schedule in unique ways. However, in the video, the Browns throw a direct shot at the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they could end up regretting it.
At the 50-second mark in the schedule release video, Brownie the Elf is seen cleaning up some food using the Terrible Towel, which is Pittsburgh's iconic rally towel used at every home game and even at away games.
Going to put this away for safe keeping. Thou shall not disrespect the Terrible Towel, @Browns! #Steelers #NFL pic.twitter.com/PEIL64xCyR

The Steelers and Browns split the season series in 2024. However, since 2021, Pittsburgh has a 5-3 record versus Cleveland and leads the all-time series with a record of 82-64-1.
The Browns are once again projected to be one of the worst teams in football, as their quarterback situation is a mess and they just aren't ready to compete in the AFC North.
On the other hand, the Steelers are always playoff contenders under Mike Tomlin, so expect more of the same in 2025. The team must figure out the quarterback position sooner rather than later, though.
Disrespecting the Terrible Towel is never a good idea, so Cleveland can laugh now, but Pittsburgh will likely have the last laugh.
