Documents the battle for the AFC North crown during the final six weeks of the NFL season, as well as a playoff run for the division-winner and any AFC North Wild Card teams. The 18-time Emmy-winning series delivers its signature all-access coverage as it follows the Mike Tomlin-coached Pittsburgh Steelers, who have never been featured on "Hard Knocks" in the history of the series, as well as coach John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens, coach Zac Taylor's Cincinnati Bengals, and coach Kevin Stefanski's Cleveland Browns. Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Jameis Winston, and Russell Wilson share the "Hard Knocks" spotlight with Derrick Henry, Ja'Marr Chase, Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, and an array of other AFC North star players.
