Houston submits bid to host 2017 Pro Bowl

HOUSTON -- Houston will be hosting Super Bowl LI next year, but they're hoping for more.

The city has a bid in to the NFL to host next year's Pro Bowl, which is played the weekend between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl.

"I know the NFL is trying to consolidate the Super Bowl experience with the Pro Bowl," Houston mayor Sylvester Turner said. "They would like them to be held in the same city. It just makes it much easier for everyone who is traveling to the Super Bowl. There's a possibility there. It would be ideal if it could happen.
