Falcons go full throttle with Mario Kart-inspired video to reveal 2025 schedule

The Atlanta Falcons didn’t just announce their 2025 schedule — they threw it into high gear and spun it into one of the wildest release videos of the year.

After wide receiver Drake London posted a cryptic teaser to his Instagram story, fans suspected something big was coming. And on Wednesday, they got it. The Falcons’ official schedule reveal was Mario Kart-inspired mayhem.

Bijan Robinson was featured as the main player who appeared in the video as an animated racer navigating each opponent and their tracks to symbolize particular away game settings (i.e. Buffalo, Miami and Los Angeles).

The theme not only delivered on nostalgia and style, it also mirrored the Falcons’ upcoming season — not to mention taking digs at their opponents (Patriots) — and even themselves a little bit — along with animated cameos like that of Atlanta favorite and Falcons fan Ludacris.

The video was met with instant praise across social media, with fans and media alike calling it one of the most creative schedule reveals in the league this year.
