After years of declining viewership and a general lack of interest from players, coaches and media, the NFL is reportedly doing away with the Pro Bowl after more than 71 years in existence.
In its place will be the “Pro Bowl Games” the Associated Press’ Rob Maaddi reported early Monday morning.
The Pro Bowl game is no longer, as the NFL is replacing the game with the first ever "Pro Bowl games" featuring a weeklong skills competition and flag football game. Reporting by @RobMaaddi.https://t.co/P2lpz0WYNh

According to Maaddi, the Pro Bowl will be renamed “The Pro Bowl Games” and will feature AFC and NFC players showcasing their football and non-football skills in challenges over several days.
