LAS VEGAS – Let the Pro Bowl Games begin.
Four Titans – running back Derrick Henry, defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons, center Ben Jones and long snapper Morgan Cox – are here for the 2023 Pro Bowl Games.
All four Titans will take part in competitions throughout the week, beginning today.
The NFL announced all the AFC and NFC Pro Bowl players who will participate in the first-ever NFL Flag football games and the eight skills competitions during the 2023 Pro Bowl Games, which will take place tonight and Sunday. Tonight's games are set to begin on ESPN from 6:00-7:30 p.m. CST. More competitions will continue Sunday, February 5, throughout the day, along with the three NFL Flag football games.
Sunday's Pro Bowl skills events will take place at Allegiant Stadium and will be televised from 2-5 p.m. CST on ESPN.
Here's a look at the Titans participating, and their events:
-Henry, Jones, and Simmons will take part in the 'Lightning Round' event. New this year, each conference selected 20 players to compete in a three-part elimination challenge that will leave one player left at the end to earn three points for his conference.
-Cox will take part in the 'Kick Tac Toe' event, when each team's kicker, punter and long snapper compete in a giant Tic-Tac-Toe competition to showcase their respective skills.
-Jones and Simmons will take part in the 'Move The Chains' event, when four teams (two teams from each conference) will compete side by side in a weighted wall pull that will showcase their strength, speed and ingenuity.
-Henry and center Ben Jones will participate in the first-ever NFL Flag football games on Sunday.
The Pro Bowl Games skills competitions will have cumulative scoring leading up to the Flag football games on Sunday. Scoring for The Pro Bowl Games works in the following way:
The winning conference of each skill competition earns three points towards their team's overall score, with 24 total points available across the eight skills events.
The winning conference from each of the first two Flag football games on Sunday will earn six points for their team, for a total of 12 available points.
Points from the skills competitions and first two Flag games will be added together and will be the score at the beginning of the third and final Flag game, which will determine the winning conference for The Pro Bowl Games.
