The latest development: The Pro Bowl Games — headlined by the AFC vs. NFC flag showdown — will move to Super Bowl week.
San Francisco’s Moscone Center will be outfitted into a made-for-TV flag arena and the game will be broadcast in primetime — 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Quick Take: The entire media world shows up at the Super Bowl— very few reporters attend the Pro Bowl. So this will boost exposure considerably at a time when the NFL is all-in on youth flag. And it may steal some thunder from the Fanatics event next March in Saudi Arabia, which The Shield would not complain about.
