Last offseason, the hype surrounding the Chicago Bears was magnified at an exponential level thanks to HBO's Hard Knocks.
This year, the Bears are going to get another chance to appear on the show, but more so in a roundabout way. This summer. the Buffalo Bills' training camp was selected to appear on Hard Knocks, but they just so happen to be scheduled for joint practices with the Bears.
The Bears will end up having joint practices with both the Bills and the Miami Dolphins, but of course the fans will be much more excited to watch the former thanks to NFL MVP Josh Allen headlining the AFC powerhouse.
Will the Bears see any of their notable names get air time for the second year in a row?
While the show is going to feature Buffalo, one can't help but wonder whether or not we will see some key members of the Bears in snippets, here and there.
You would have to believe cameras would love to capture a moment between Allen and Caleb Williams, should there be an opportunity for the two of them to speak. If anything, a quick conversation between the two of them might spark even higher ratings or social media shares if even a few seconds of a clip happens to go viral.
Last season, the Bears' appearance on Hard Knocks had some definite high notes. The show is, of course, there to provide entertainment. HBO did their job well in building up the hype for this Bears team and putting the players' relationships with one another and coaches on full display.
There were heartwarming moments also accompanied by tougher moments to watch, as fans. But, this year, we can be thankful that the team is mostly going to be out of the spotlight aside from potentially a few clips in a single episode.
