Let the games begin.
The 2023 Pro Bowl is getting a facelift in many ways. Gone are the days of a single exhibition game on Sunday for bragging rights, in are the days where the week’s events lead to a cumulative score
The week leading up the flag football game on Sunday will feature a number of skills competitions as the league attempts to rehab the Pro Bowl and get fans more invested. Featuring dodgeball, long drive and catch competitions among others, coaches Peyton and Eli Manning will try to inject life into the week’s events.
While the numbers of viewers still measure in the millions, Pro Bowl viewership hit a low in 2022, leading to the league wanting to make for a more palatable and entertaining viewing experience this year. We’ll see if the end product meets that goal.
