ORLANDO, Fla. — The NFL and its players were looking for ways to spice up the Pro Bowl, so they decided to have San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers throw balls at opponents.
Dodgeballs.
After moving the game to Orlando this year and returning it to the traditional AFC-NFC matchup, the NFL also is bringing back the skills competition, with some activities that might be more closely associated with elementary recess than NFL skills.
The “competitions” include made-for-television activities like the drone drop, power relays and dodge ball — yes, dodgeball — as part of Pro Bowl Week at Disney’s sports complex.
