'Hard Knocks' to follow Bills at training camp, NFC East in season
NFL fans will get a closer look at both the reigning league MVP and the defending Super Bowl champions on "Hard Knocks" throughout the season.
The popular HBO series will cover Buffalo Bills training camp starting Aug. 5, the NFL announced Wednesday.
The league also revealed that the 2025 in-season edition of "Hard Knocks" will follow the NFC East, featuring the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders, New York Giants, and Philadelphia Eagles.
The Bills are led by quarterback Josh Allen, who claimed MVP honors last year after accounting for at least 40 touchdowns for the fifth straight year. James Cook's contract situation is among the other relevant Buffalo storylines as the star running back enters the last year of his rookie deal.
The in-season series - which will air in December - debuted last year with the AFC North.
The NFC East has stolen headlines in recent years and features some of the NFL's biggest rivalries. The Eagles and Jalen Hurts won the Super Bowl in February after taking down the Commanders and Jayden Daniels in the conference title game.
The Dallas Cowboys are looking to bounce back in 2025 after missing the playoffs last year. They will welcome back quarterback Dak Prescott, who sustained a season-ending injury midway through the 2024 campaign.
Finally, the Giants head into the 2025 season with major questions at quarterback after signing Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and drafting Jaxson Dart in the first round. New York has the hardest strength of schedule this year, according to Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis.
