The NFL Pro Bowl 2023 has put more emphasis on “games” this year than ever before. The NFL has abandoned the previous format of playing an exhibition football game, with skills challenges only taking on a supplementary role. It has made the latter the main focus of the 2023 games.
The NFL Pro Bowl Games started at 3 pm Eastern Time at Allegiant Stadium. The NFL’s brightest stars square off in a series of competitive skills challenges and three flag football games that will cap the week’s events. The AFC won three of the first four competitions to take a 9-3 lead heading into Sunday.
