The Cardinals used AIto bring together a Zoom meeting of the mascots. I found it hard to keep up with the chat while also watching the mascots interact on camera. Some highlights include the Chargers going offline when their mascot is called out for not being real (the Chargers don’t have a mascot), and theRaiders’ mascot stalking quarterback Fernando Mendoza onLinkedInduring the ending clips. But overall, not my favorite.
The Cardinals have taken losses on the field. They have been mocked for the way they handled their quarterback situation and how they came to a new head coach. Taking a loss with something creative is just the latest way they can't seem get things going their way.
