Eagles, NFC East to appear on Hard Knocks - PE.com
The Eagles will be in prime time even when there isn’t a game at Lincoln Financial Field. HBO and NFL Films announced on Wednesday that the NFC East will be the featured subject for the second iteration of the in-season division format of Hard Knocks, which debuted in 2024 with a focus on the AFC North. The series will kick off in December and be available to stream on HBO Max. Hard Knocks will also document the Training Camp journey of the Buffalo Bills this summer. “We are thrilled to provide ‘Hard Knocks’ fans a summer with the Bills and winter with the Cowboys, Giants, Commanders and Eagles in the first year of our exciting new deal with NFL Films,” said Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller, co-executive vice presidents HBO Documentary and Family Programming, and Bentley Weiner, senior vice president HBO Sports Documentaries. “There will be no shortage of star power.”
Ranking the NFL divisions by strength heading into 2025 - PFF
5. NFC EAST: EAGLES, COMMANDERS, COWBOYS, GIANTS. Cumulative over/under win total: 34. The NFC East sent both representatives to the NFC championship game last January, but those two teams — the Eagles and Commanders — are carrying most of the weight for the division as a whole. Philadelphia lost key talent in free agency, but reloaded effectively enough to remain one of the favorites to return to the Super Bowl in 2025. Washington, meanwhile, struck gold with Jayden Daniels, who earned PFF’s Rookie of the Year honors. The offense looks promising, but the defense must improve after ranking 29th in team grade (60.0), including a 54.2 run-defense grade and just 258 total pressures (21st). Upgrades in the front seven are a step in the right direction. The Cowboys were derailed by injuries at quarterback last season, and while the arrival of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach brings some uncertainty, they still have the talent to be competitive — especially if the run defense, which graded out at a league-worst 49.3 in 2024, can bounce back. As for the Giants, their quarterback situation remains unresolved, with three players currently in contention for the starting role. The offensive line hasn’t seen meaningful improvement, which raises concerns regardless of who starts under center. However, the additions of Paulson Adebo and Jevon Holland should help bolster a secondary that ranked 26th in coverage grade (52.5) last season.
