Maximum exposure!
The NFL expanded their Hard Knocks series last year by adding an In Season version that focused on the AFC North. Commissioner Roger Goodell just announced that the NFC East will be the focus of this year’s version of the show on HBO Max. This is a great choice for the league as it features one of the oldest and most important divisions in the league. It also helps that two of the division’s teams played in the NFC Championship game last season, and that the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl. The NFC East also hasn’t had a repeat division champion since 2004. Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North, debuted on Tuesday, Dec. 3 last year, so expect a similar start date for this year’s version.
The Washington Commanders were 12-5 last season, and their season ended with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams will be getting a lot of exposure in primetime and stand alone games this season. Second-year QB Jayden Daniels took the league by storm in 2024, winning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and breaking NFL and franchise records. He is quickly becoming a face of the league, and this new opportunity puts him and the rest of the team in the spotlight even more in the second year of the Josh Harris/Adam Peters/Dan Quinn era.
