Pro Bowl Games Pre-Gamin’: Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread, More
This afternoon, the NFL’s reimagined star games conclude when the AFC and NFC all-stars compete in 7-on-7 flag football games and a handful of competitions to crown a winner of the 2023 Pro Bowl Games.
The AFC took a 9-3 lead over the NFC in the Skills Challenge events on Thursday night, so the NFC has ground to cover today. Here’s what’s on tap today:
Sunday’s Events
Best Catch (Finale)
On Sunday, the top vote getters from each conference will compete head-to-head, as they perform in front of panel of celebrity judges. The pass-catcher who accumulates the highest score from the judges will be determined the winner.
Gridiron Gauntlet
A side-by-side relay race showcasing strength, speed and agility, six players from each conference will compete to see who finishes first and wins three points for his team. The four-part Gauntlet, each segment 40-yards in length, includes a series of breakaway walls, a section of climbing over walls and under tables, a tire run and a blocking sled carrying a Legend coach across the finish line.
Kick Tac Toe
Each team’s kicker, punter and long snapper compete in a giant Tic-Tac-Toe competition to showcase their respective skills. The first team to complete a connecting line of three squares or hit five squares total will be declared the winner and earn three points for his conference.
Move The Chains
Four teams (two teams from each conference) will compete side by side in a weighted wall pull that will showcase their strength, speed and ingenuity. Each team of five players is responsible for pulling a wall, loaded up with heavy weights, 10-yards as quickly as possible using first-down chains. The winner of the best-of-three playoff will earn three points for their conference.
…
The winning conference of each competition will earn three points towards their team’s score in the flag football games on Sunday, with 24 total points available to be awarded. There will be three flag football games, with points from the first two games added to each conference’s scores in the third and final game.
