NFL Scraps Pro Bowl Game, Shifts to Honors-Only Celebration

Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed the Pro Bowl will no longer feature any game or competition, citing that the all-star format no longer meets league standards. Instead, 88 selected players will be invited to Los Angeles in February for an in-person celebration without alternates. Goodell emphasized that players wanted to be honored and celebrated as Pro Bowlers, which drove the decision to eliminate the on-field event.
