The NFL is adding a "game show and a punting contest" to the Pro Bowl's skills competition, adding to the list of challenges that also includes tug-of-war and dodgeball. The game show, Helmet Harmony, will "test players' knowledge of their teammates," while Punt Perfect "features one punter and one non-punter," each punting from the 35-yard line "attempting to place as many balls as possible into a set of six buckets in the end zone." The passing and receiving competitions have a "new twist this year," with QBs attempting to hit targets at "various distances around the field worth different point values in 40 seconds." In the catching challenge, one WR, TE and DB from each conference will "compete in an obstacle course, including catches from a JUGS machine at three different distances" (AP, 12/19).
