Hard Knocks to Feature AFC North →
Interesting news from HBO and NFL Films for this upcoming season. Nick Shook writing at NFL.com:
Hard Knocks is entering new territory in 2024 with plans to document an entire division’s regular-season journey.
For the first time ever, HBO and NFL Films will follow all four teams in the AFC North for their annual Hard Knocks: In Season, aiming to chronicle the inner workings of the rough-and-tumble quartet of squads. The new episodes will feature the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, members of the first division to finish with nothing but winning records, achieved in 2023.
This is a neat idea. The in-season version of Hard Knocks hasn’t been as appealing to me as the original pre-season version. Here’s hoping for a fun division race in December so this concept works out. 🏈
