The NFL's Pro Bowl event saw a significant drop in viewership, attracting 4.7 million viewers this year. This marks an 18 percent decrease from last year's audience and is the lowest for the Sunday afternoon version of the event. The inaugural flag-football format, introduced two years ago, had 6.3 million viewers. The Thursday night skills challenge saw a slight decline of just one percent, from 1.14 million to 1.13 million. The decline in Pro Bowl viewership raises questions about fan interest in the new format. The NFL is also considering a professional flag football league in the future.
