The traditional Pro Bowl game was replaced by the Pro Bowl Games, which will culminate with an AFC vs. NFC Flag Game at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, February 2nd. The Pro Bowl Games Flag Football and Skills will air on at 3 p.m. on ESPN and ABC from Camping World Stadium. It includes a 7-on-7 flag football game and more skills, including Tug-of-War, Punt Perfect, and the Great Football Race.
In all, a grand total of eight Pittsburgh Steelers were named and/or are participating in this week’s event. Initially, Chris Boswell, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and linebacker T.J. Watt, were voted in as starters. Special teams ace Miles Killebrew, guard Isaac Seumalo, quarterback Russell Wilson, and linebacker Patrick Queen were named as an injury replacements after the main rosters were revealed.
How it works
Scoring for the Pro Bowl Games works in the following way:
- The winning conference of each skill competition earns three points towards their team’s overall score, with 33 points available across the 11 skills events.
- Points from the Flag game (four, 12-minute quarters played on Sunday) will be added to points earned from Skills competitions to determine the winning conference for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.
- The winning conference at the conclusion of the Flag game will be crowned the winner of the Pro Bowl Games.
