As the NFL season comes to its latter stage, teams will finalize their playoff spots in no time. There are still six weeks to go and teams will battle it out to clinch a postseason birth. As they prepare for the Vince Lombardi trophy, top performers from this year’s season will also be present at the Pro Bowl.

The Pro Bowl is to be held on the first Sunday of February, just a week before the Superbowl LVII. It is a showcase game between the best of the AFC and the best of the NFC. The NFL stars will get together to display the best of their skills as both conferences battle it out for bragging rights. As the coaches for both teams were announced, the NFL world was left awe-struck as legends of the game will combine.

Quarterback brothers, Peyton and Eli Manning will take on duties as coaches for their respective teams.

Peyton Manning’s team has QB supremacy. Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes are lined up to represent his squad. Meanwhile, Eli Manning will take over the likes of Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Jalen Hurts. All of this is, however, dependent on whoever makes the last cut for the Pro Bowl.

This year’s Pro Bowl game is supposed to be a little different. Similar to the All-star weekend of the NBA, this year’s Pro Bowl will be a skills competition throughout the week. The week will end with a flag football game between the two teams. This comes in place of the traditional football game that was conducted originally. This was an initiative by Peyton Manning to reduce injuries before the Superbowl.

Even though this union of the superstar NFL players won’t be as effective as it could have been in its traditional sense, it didn’t stop fans from celebrating the game. 

These fans brought out their concerns as the Pro Bowl is too close to the Super Bowl. Which is a scare for players as they could get injured in this exhibition game.
