The AFC has the early lead over their longtime rivals, the NFC, at the ProBowlGames.
Sports Seriously recently spoke with NFL's Peter O'Reilly who oversees planning the Super Bowl A to Z and he tells us some behind the scenes stories from previous halftime shows that include Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.Derek Carr scored an event-high 31 points in the precision passing contestCarr, in familiar territory with the events being held at Raiders headquarters, said he will not extend the Feb. 15 deadline to help facilitate a trade from Las Vegas.
But his performance during the two-day competitions boosted the AFC with each event counting as three points. The AFC also won the lightning round — a series of competitions that included a water balloon toss — and long drive contest, and the NFC got on the scoreboard by winning the dodgeball tournament., replacing the traditional all-star game with a flag football contest and series of other skills events. Four skills events take place Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, and those also will be three points each.
Three flag football games will then be played, the first two each worth six points. The points will then be combined with those accumulated from the skills events, which will be the score entering the third and final flag football game to determine the winner. Most of Thursday's events were played at the Raiders' facility before about 500 fans, cheerleaders from 12 teams and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
