Orlando, Florida(PSF)-This year, the NFL rolled out a new format to the Pro Bowl, featuring a weeklong skills competition and a flag football game in place of the traditional game that’s been playing previously. This move was shown to be very unpopular among fans and certainly didn’t drawn high rating. The decline of high ratings have been caused due to the fans not wanting to see the lack of actions that have been happening on the new style of game that people were expecting to see.

The person that apparently is the main responsible for this change is the Denver Broncos, Russell Wilson. The reason is apparently he was the one that gave the suggestion to the NFL higher-ups that they should replace the Pro Bowl with a flag football game.

Apparently, he wanted to give the teams some break time between games so the players can feel a lot lighter and not have any more injuries. The idea was received with massive criticism from the public and some of the players from the League. The online criticism is a big one and while Wilson hasn’t received any death threats, things might be not so simple for him in the future.

The NFL apparently liked the idea as they decided to keep this style of Flag Game for the Pro Bowl for the time being. They don’t know if they are going to keep going on and if they decided to change in the future they will announce it, however, while for the time being there are no indications to change back from what it was before.
