The Pro Bowl is nothing more than a fun event for both the players and audience

By ANDY ORTON

The Pro Bowl is an event that has significantly lost its original purpose. The game itself does not matter, and is played that way. Players are avoiding injury at all cost, so the game itself is almost unwatchable. This year was no different. We saw a complete blowout by the AFC, and at one point Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley were on the field as pass rushers. The game is nothing but a good bit of fun for the players, and should be treated as such.

However, what does matter a lot to players is making the Pro Bowl in the first place.
