The HBO program Hard Knocks will feature the Houston Texans in 2015, which means plenty of J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney for your viewing pleasure. As San Francisco 49ers fans, there is an added hook. The 49ers face the Houston Texans in Week 1 of the preseason, on August 15. While Hard Knocks focuses mostly on training camp itself, there will likely be some game footage and discussion of that game.
The NFL approved a Hard Knocks rule back in 2013, which made the 49ers ineligible for the show in 2015.
