Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus reacts after NFL Films make Hard Knocks decision
The Chicago Bears will star on HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ in 2024 after the league announced it would be dropping its long-standing rule banning the team from appearing on the show
Chicago Bears’ head coach Matt Eberflus is thrilled at the prospect of featuring his team in the next ‘Hard Knocks’ series – a reflection of the positive vibes flowing through Illinois.
The Bears are set for their moments to be captured on tape this season by HBO and NFL Films cameras. It seems that fans in Chicago are buzzing with excitement, and for Eberflus, it’s not his first feature on the long-established documentary series.
In fact, during his stint as defensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts, he had been part of “Hard Knocks”. It was a challenging 2021 campaign for them as they missed out on the playoffs
With a current upbeat mood emanating from Soldier Field, courtesy of Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, and D’Andre Swift, it seems like Eberflus is all pumped up to showcase the best out of Chicago in 2024.
Eberflus said cheerfully about the upcoming spotlight: “Hard Knocks, the big announcement yesterday, I talked to the team about that because I’ve been involved in that before, and I believe NFL Films and HBO do an outstanding job of getting their message out of the team.
“And we’re going to be proud of that message, because I’m proud of these guys, and proud of this organisation. We have a bunch of really good people in the building, not only the football players, but also the support staff… We have guys that love football, that love each other, and respect the game and play it the right way. So we’re excited about getting that going.”
