Eagles move from Tush Push drama to TV drama with spotlight on Hard Knocks

If Wednesday's Tush Push ban conclusion wasn't compelling enough for Philadelphia Eagles fans, how about being showcased on a TV show?

The Eagles have become must-watch television over the last three years with two trips to the Super Bowl in that span and a championship win back in February. They also have attracted attention off the field between their players and the "Brotherly Shove" that refuses to die.

America has shown they may not like the Eagles, but they sure will watch them on TV when the are on. Fans will have more opportunities to see the Birds soar on their television screens at the end of the year.

NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero broke the news Wednesday after the Tush Push vote that the Buffalo Bills would be featured on the HBO show Hard Knocks during training camp. Pelissero added that the NFC East would participate in the second edition of Hard Knocks: In Season, which will debut in December.

The #Bills will be on Hard Knocks this summer, and the NFC East will be on the in-season edition, Roger Goodell says.

Eagles to be featured on Hard Knocks

This will be the first time the Eagles have been featured on Hard Knocks, but it will be the first time a documentary has followed the team during the season. In 2019, the Amazon Prime show All or Nothing followed Philadelphia through the season as the team finished 9-7 and lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Wild Card game.

The must-watch part of the show will be the New York Giants' appearance on Hard Knocks for the second straight year. Last year, the big part of the show that made the rounds was New York letting Saquon Barkley go and deciding that paying their former quarterback, Daniel Jones, was more important than paying their franchise running back. Eagles fans know how that worked out.

Dallas has been featured on Hard Knocks three times and had a season of All or Nothing following the Cowboys' regular season in 2017. The spotlight of these shows on the Cowboys hasn't helped the team though as they have failed to make the NFC Championship game for about 30 years. That fact has nothing to do with them being on the show, but priorities of making money over winning is clear in Dallas.

The Commanders join the Eagles in being featured on Hard Knocks for the first time. The rivalry between Philadelphia and Washington is expected to be a hot topic on the show since the two teams are expected to compete for a division title and a Super Bowl.

The timing of Philadelphia's appearance on the show is interesting since the team is transitioning to a younger roster, which could show some growing pains. That first episode of the Super Bowl banner being hung on opening night in Lincoln Financial Field against the Cowboys will be memorable.
