Match preview

One week before the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl at Miami Gardens, the stars of the AFC and NFC go head-to-head in the Pro Bowl at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.

The teams are chosen by players, coaches and fans as the best in the league, although those preparing to do battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy next Sunday won't be taking part.

The AFC will be led by Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh, who this season guided the Ravens to a 14-2 record and will have his star quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Mark Ingram available.

Also selected were Houston wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and New York Jets safety Jamal Adams, who was last year’s defensive MVP.

Seattle head coach Pete Carroll takes charge of the NFC and will also have his own team’s quarterback, Russell Wilson, on duty.

Running backs Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey and Ezekiel Elliott give them a mouthwatering backfield while New Orleans wide receiver Michael Thomas heads their passing options.

A rule change for this game means there will be no kick-offs after a touchdown or field goal - instead the scoring team can elect to either have a fourth and 15 attempt from their own 25-yard line or allow the opposing team to start from their 25-yard line.

That could lead to a high-scoring contest, and although none of the past three Pro Bowls have topped 47 points that streak could be broken with such grand offensive talent on display.
