National Football League all-star game
The2020 Pro Bowl was theNational Football League 'sall-star game for the2019 NFL season . It was played on January 26, 2020, atCamping World Stadium inOrlando, Florida , and was televised nationally byESPN , while being simulcast onABC andDisney XD .
Fan voting began on November 12, 2019, and ended on December 12, 2019.[ 2] Baltimore Ravens tied an NFL record (set by the2007 Dallas Cowboys ) by having 13 players selected to the game. The coaching staff for the AFC was led byJohn Harbaugh of theBaltimore Ravens , and for the NFC byPete Carroll of theSeattle Seahawks .[ 3]
This was the first occasion since the1995 season thatthe New York Giants had no player make the Pro Bowl.
The game was largely overshadowed by the news ofNBA legendKobe Bryant 's death ina helicopter crash on the day the game was held, which also killed his 13-year-old daughterGianna , and 7 other victims. The helicopter crash prompted the NFL to conduct a moment of silence during the game for Bryant and the other victims of the crash, with various on-field tributes occurring throughout the game.
The NFL's three-year contract withCamping World Stadium inOrlando, Florida , expired after the 2019 game. The league explored alternative sites, including hosting the game in Miami a week after the Super Bowl.[ 4] [ 5]
As in previous years, some rules for the Pro Bowl were different from the regular season. Some of the rules used in this game were:[ 6]
After a score, there was no kickoff, as in previous years' Pro Bowls. The scoring team had two options:Give the opposing team the ball at the opposing team's own 25-yard line (equivalent to atouchback ), or Run one play from the scoring team's 25-yard line, in lieu of anonside kick . If the scoring team gains at least 15 yards it retains possession and is awarded a first down; otherwise, the other team takes over at the dead ball spot. In essence, it is a 4th-and-15 play from a team's own 25-yard line.The "onside kick" option was exercised by the NFC in the 4th quarter, resulting in QB Kirk Cousins throwing an interception to Earl Thomas. False start penalties on receivers flexed to the line of scrimmage were relaxed. A receiver could flinch or lift one foot off the ground without penalty.Scoring summary Quarter Time Drive Team Scoring information Score Plays Yards TOP NFC AFC 1 5:03 5 90 2:41 NFC Michael Thomas 16-yard touchdown reception fromDrew Brees ,Wil Lutz kick good7 0 1 0:17 8 75 4:48 AFC Andre Roberts 15-yard touchdown reception fromLamar Jackson ,Justin Tucker kick good7 7 2 11:37 7 75 3:38 NFC Amari Cooper 6-yard touchdown reception fromRussell Wilson , Wil Lutz kick good14 7 2 4:35 12 75 7:02 AFC Mark Andrews 3-yard touchdown reception from Lamar Jackson, Justin Tucker kick good14 14 2 1:00 5 56 0:58 AFC Jack Doyle 13-yard touchdown reception fromDeshaun Watson , Justin Tucker kick good14 21 2 0:06 3 30 0:21 AFC 50-yard field goal by Justin Tucker 14 24 3 8:06 – – – NFC Interception returned 61 yards for touchdown byFletcher Cox , Wil Lutz kick good 21 24 3 2:57 5 69 2:41 NFC Davante Adams 13-yard touchdown reception fromKirk Cousins , Wil Lutz kick no good (blocked)27 24 3 1:37 3 75 1:19 AFC D.
