The Dallas Cowboys are this year’s team on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” show that, I have to admit, I haven’t seen a minute of yet because it just feels like the show has stalled out recently – but maybe that’s just me.
However, this clip from this week’s episode caught my attention because it has been going viral since it aired… and rightfully so, it’s amazing.
I’m talking about this absolutely beautiful and incredibly challenging 3-minute drone tour of the team’s practice facility. The twists and turns and the level of skill to pull this off just blows my mind.
Take a few minutes and watch this:

Amazing.
Peter Schrager had some details on how the brilliant NFL Films team pulled it off:
And here's the drone shot in all its glory. The crew was given 3 hours; nailed it on the 15th of 15 takes. This is "Goodfellas" Copacabana type stuff for the Sports TV nerds. Shoutout to Jason Weber @NFLFilms , his team, and @skycandystudios and Cinewhoop for pulling it off. https://t.co/kxJO5i7Uhw
