Camping World Stadium in Orlando is sold out for the NFL’s all-star game. He earned the start in place of injured star Derrick Johnson against Tennessee, but was tentative at times and was attacked repeatedly. Andy Dalton is replacing Brady while Brees will be replacing the Atlanta Falcons quarterback. In the previous 20 Pro Bowls, the two teams had combined for just under 65 points per game. There was also the Pro Bowl Experience put on for fans, the EA Madden Bowl and the Pro Bowl Skills Challenge. Matt Parter kicked a pair of field goals.
Mike Seman made the trip from Maryland with his son, Logan, to visit family and cheer on Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins.
The more competitive tone was set less than five minutes into the game when Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner forced a fumble while stopping DeMarco Murray for a 2-yard gain on a third-and-1 play. Then again, has the Pro Bowl ever had a shining moment? Both teams are expected to run up the score board since defenses aren’t really playing at max capacity.
The Seattle Seahawks shined in this year’s Pro Bowl, as the AFC beat the NFC 20-13. The intensity level is always lower despite the game’s finest players being in it. Realistically there’s no incentive for these players to go all out and risk injury.
Just think that after one more week, there will be no more football on any Sundays. The forceful hits that have become a signature part of the National Football League during the season will largely be absent from tonight’s game.
Whatever the reason, fans were treated to the most entertaining Pro Bowl in many years.
The Pro Bowl will be on ESPN at 8 p.m. EST Sunday, January 29th. Live streaming is available for cable and satellite customers through their WatchESPN website or compatible mobile apps by signing in. Let’s all be real though, you don’t care about who won. Which players will have standout performances in this contest ahead of Super Bowl 51?
