Indianapolis Colts to Feature in First Ever In-Season Episode of Hard Knocks

Hard Knocks on Thursday Night announced that their 17th season with the NFL will feature the Indianapolis Colts. Although this time they are coming in with a new thought-out concept.

This time, the HBO series desires to picture the anxiety, thrill, and excitement the players and coach experience before every game. They will now go beyond the boundaries of the training field and the game night stadium to give a real-life experience to the viewers.

The story of the Colts this season

Indianapolis Colts have a lot going on lately. The franchise acquired the 2018 No. 2 overall pick, Carson Wentz from the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason. The quarterback is trying to get his career back on track, as he threw 16 interceptions, with 50 sacks in just 12 games, following which the Eagles benched him last season.

They picked up three wins in the preseason, but their opening day didn’t go as expected. The Colts suffered a 16-28 defeat to Russell Wilson’s Seattle Seahawks.
