From the field to coaching, there is only one step. Former quarterbacks Peyton (not Paintin') and Eli Manning will return as coaches for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games flag football game. And even if the event doesn't really get the crowds on their feet, this will be the third consecutive year for the Manning brothers.

Like every year, the Pro Bowl Games will bring together some of the best players of the past season (at least those who agree to come). They will include a series of more or less bizarre tests which will take place throughout the weekend. The first workshops will begin on Thursday, January 30, then continue until the fireworks on Sunday, February 2 with the highly anticipated flag football game. A meeting which will be held at Camping World Stadium in Orlando and will be broadcast worldwide.
Eli Manning Advantage
During the two previous confrontations, the little brother gained the upper hand over his older brother. The former Giant, naturally in charge of the NFC team, won in 2023 then did it again at the start of 2024. Nothing to create tension, however, the two former quarterbacks are there for fun. Even if Peyton could see himself winning the bet this year.
“The Pro Bowl Games are about having a good time. It's always unpredictable, and we have the opportunity to bring fans into the action while watching the biggest names in the NFL compete. And the best part is knowing that my AFC team is going to end Eli's two-year lucky streak with the NFC. »
Not holding a grudge, Eli also takes a little swipe at his big brother:
“I love everything about the Pro Bowl Games. And hearing Peyton complain about losing every year makes it even better. »
