Once each NFL football season we have the NFL Pro Bowl. This year’s game will be played on the 25th of January at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Gametime is scheduled for 8:05 PM and can be seen on ESPN TV. This is the same venue for the Super Bowl XLIX game.
Each year the players who do not make the Super Bowl game, the top players are eligible and can be elected to play in the annual Pro Bowl. In previous years there were several times when the game was play in Hawaii, but this year for only the 3rd time the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl will be played at the same venue as this year’s Super Bowl XLIX and that’s at the Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Previously the game was played in an AFC against NFC format, however this year for the 2nd time the game rosters will be chosen in a fantasy draft format and the teams will be Hall of Fame WR’s Cris Carter team and Michael Irving team and they are selecting the rosters for their teams.
Standard procedures for selecting the coaching staffs for the two opposing teams, starts with the highest seeded team’s coaching staff that lost in the divisional round, which in this case would be Dallas Cowboy Garrett and staff for the NFC and then for the AFC the Denver Broncos John Fox and staff, but because the Broncos and Fox have split, the Ravens Coach John Harbaugh and Staff will take over the AFC Team’s coaching duties. The players to be drafted for the 2 teams will be selected on the Wednesday the 21st of January and will be live on the NFL Network.
