Super Bowl XLIX between the Patriots and Seahawks is a week away, but the Pro Bowl all-star game at University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona (Sunday, Jan. 25, at 8pm ET on ESPN) might fill the football gap for some, but probably not many. The NFL’s best players compete against each other in the second year of an “unconferenced” format that has players put on teams through a fantasy-style draft.
ESPN’s Monday Night Football team of Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden and reporter Lisa Salters call the game.
