Unfortunately for Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch, dodgeball comes with its own risks, and during the first game Houston's Joe Mixon hit him right in the Pro Bowls. While Branch wasn't actually hurt and was able to laugh about it afterwards, it still makes for an incredibly funny video.

The Pro Bowl Games are back for a third straight season in 2025. Rather than a full-pads, tackle football game between two all-star rosters, the Pro Bowl's new format, which started in 2023, features two days of skills competitions ahead of a 7-on-7 flag football game capping off the weekend.

The sports world will focus on New Orleans for the Super Bowl on February 9. But this town, supremely experienced in throwing a party, has more in store than football.

The 11th Super Bowl hosted by New Orleans next weekend is expected to draw an estimated 100,000 visitors to the city, according to Collin Arnold, director of the New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness.

The NFL has adjusted its security plans and received additional support for Super Bowl 59 after the deadly Jan. 1 vehicle attack in New Orleans.
