HOUSTON -- The Texans will be the next subject of HBO's documentary series "Hard Knocks," according to multiple sources.
<aside class="inline editorial float-r" data-behavior="article_related" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: BentonSans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); clear: none; margin: 6px 0px 15px 18px; padding: 15px; width: 300.65625px; min-height: 1px; position: relative; float: right; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">[h=1]EDITOR'S PICKS[/h]
</aside>The team is expected to make an announcement soon. This marks the first time the Texans are the subject of the show, which dates back to 2001.
Houston and its star J.J. Watt made a cameo on the show last season when the Atlanta Falcons were the headliners. The Texans hosted the Falcons for joint practices during training camp.
The show has featured the Ravens, Chiefs, Jets, Dolphins and Falcons one time each. The Cowboys and the Bengals have each been featured twice.
Teams have the right to refuse the show if they have a new head coach, have been to the playoffs in the past two seasons or if they have been the subject of the show in the past 10 years. The Texans fit none of those criteria.

The first few were good but not really the type of show that has much staying power. I haven't watched it since Dallas was on like 4 years ago.

why would they have a rule that teams that have been to the playoffs last 2 years can't be on it? I understand the new head coach rule but why the playoff rule? Just a way of rewarding good teams?

Not a bad choice I guess. I havent watched the show in a few years but on a side note if the Texans do not make the playoff next season that will be a huge disappointment
