Pro Bowl Skills Competitions Released
Thursday, January 12th, 2023 -- 11:09 AM
The NFL on Wednesday announced the eight skills competitions that Pro Bowlers will compete in the week before Super Bowl LVII.
Each event pits the AFC vs. the NFC, with the winner earning three points for their conference (24 points available).
- Dodgeball: Four teams of five players play a dodgeball tournament.
- Lightning Round: 16 players per conference participate in a three-part elimination challenge featuring water balloon toss, punt-catching and a carnival-style target game aimed at dumping a bucket of water on a coach's head.
- Longest Drive: Four players per conference see who can hit a golf ball the farthest.
- Precision Passing: Each conference's three QBs battle in a timed accuracy competition.
- Best Catch: Two players per conference will aim to impress judges by catching passes in creative ways.
- Gridiron Gauntlet: Six players per conference participate in a relay race that includes climbing over walls and pushing someone on a blocking sled.
- Kick-Tac-Toe: Each team's kicker, punter and long snapper compete in a giant game of tic-tac-toe.
- Move the Chains: Four teams of five will race to pull a weighted wall 10 yards using first-down chains.
The week ends with the Pro Bowl's first flag football games in lieu of tackle. The first two games are each worth six points, and the final game begins with the cumulative score earned by each conference during the week. Winner takes all.
