Pittsburgh Review

The Pro Bowl Games kicked off in Orlando with the NFC taking an early lead in the Skills Challenge, securing a 14-7 advantage over the AFC. The games continue on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN.

In Dodge Ball, Chris Boswell and Isaac Seumalo initially led their team to victory for the AFC, but the NFC bounced back to win Game 2. This put the NFC ahead for the night as anticipation builds for Sunday's remaining events.

Minkah Fitzpatrick participated in a relay race alongside Joey Bosa, Denzel Ward, and Marvin Mims Jr., where they secured one round victory for the AFC. Despite this effort, the NFC claimed two rounds to gain additional points.

Cameron Heyward and Miles Killebrew showcased their knowledge of each other in Helmet Harmony. They correctly answered two out of three questions but couldn't surpass their NFC counterparts.

Quarterback Russell Wilson teamed up with Myles Garrett for Passing the Test. Garrett excelled in trivia while Wilson scored 31 points passing, though Jared Goff's 44-point performance gave the edge to the NFC.

For Cameron Heyward, participating in these games holds special significance as he was voted a starter along with several other Steelers players. "It's an honor to be chosen amongst a really competitive defensive line group," Heyward stated.

Seven Steelers players are involved this week: Chris Boswell, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Cameron Heyward, Miles Killebrew, Patrick Queen, Isaac Seumalo, and Russell Wilson. T.J. Watt was also selected but is absent due to injury.

Boswell returns after his last Pro Bowl appearance in 2017 with impressive stats from this season including leading NFL kickers in points and field goal percentage. Fitzpatrick makes his fifth Pro Bowl appearance following a strong defensive season.

The Pro Bowl Games feature skills competitions like Dodgeball and Tug-of-War alongside a flag football game set for Sunday at Camping World Stadium. Scoring from these events will determine which conference wins this year's Pro Bowl Games title.
