The Baltimore Ravens are set to be featured in the latest installment of the documentary series, ‘Hard Knocks’, which will focus on the battle for the AFC North Championship towards the end of the 2024 season.
The team made an announcement in a social media post Monday afternoon.
The first episode will air on December 3, with new episodes featuring the Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers premiering every Tuesday through the end of the regular season and into the playoffs in January 2025.
The Ravens made their first appearance in the series upon its debut in 2001 as the defending Super Bowl champions, after a triumphant 34-7 victory.
In a statement on NFL.com, NFL Films vice president and head of content Keith Cossrow said the competitiveness of the AFC North made for an easy choice.
“Last season the AFC North became the first division ever to have all four teams finish with a winning record, making it the perfect place to launch this new approach to Hard Knocks,” Cossrow said.
“We thank the Bengals, Browns, Ravens and Steelers for the opportunity to showcase some of the greatest rivalries in football and present the intensity of a playoff chase from all four corners of this incredibly competitive division.”
The Ravens were the first team to be featured on “Hard Knocks” when it premiered in 2001.
This year, the Ravens, of course, hope to be in the midst of a winning season that will set them up to contend for a Super Bowl.
There shouldn’t be any shortage of interesting storylines for the Ravens, from Lamar Jackson’s general presence, Derrick Henry’s first season in Baltimore, vocal leaders like Roquan Smith, plus the lesser-known stories that “Hard Knocks” always uncovers.
