National Football League all-star game
The 2020 Pro Bowl was the National Football League 's all-star game for the 2019 NFL season . It was played on January 26, 2020, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida , and was televised nationally by ESPN , while being simulcast on ABC and Disney XD .
Fan voting began on November 12, 2019, and ended on December 12, 2019.[ 2] Baltimore Ravens tied an NFL record (set by the 2007 Dallas Cowboys ) by having 13 players selected to the game. The coaching staff for the AFC was led by John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens , and for the NFC by Pete Carroll of the Seattle Seahawks .[ 3]
This was the first occasion since the 1995 season that the New York Giants had no player make the Pro Bowl.
The game was largely overshadowed by the news of NBA legend Kobe Bryant 's death in a helicopter crash on the day the game was held, which also claimed the lives of his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and 7 other victims. The tragedy 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 during the game.
Background
The NFL's three-year contract with Camping World Stadium in Orlando, 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]
Rule changes
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 a touchback ), or
Run one play from the scoring team's 25-yard line, in lieu of an onside 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.
