The Manning brothers will return as head coaches for the third straight year for the Pro Bowl, with Eli again looking to best his older brother, Peyton. Eli playfully teases Peyton's lack of skills outside of football, while Peyton focuses on playbook strategies. Both brothers express excitement for the Pro Bowl and the opportunity to celebrate the season with the game's top talent.
For the third consecutive year, the Manning brothers will return as head coaches and go head-to-head in a thrilling Pro Bowl weekend. This year's event will feature star offensive and defensive players from the AFC and NFC, promising an action-packed spectacle. Peyton Manning, a two-time Super Bowl champion and widely considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, will lead the AFC team.
His younger brother, Eli Manning, also a two-time Super Bowl champion known for his legendary victories over Tom Brady, will coach the NFC squad in the 2025 Pro Bowl. \Last year, Eli's NFC team emerged victorious against Peyton's AFC team in a close 64-59 final. The previous year, Eli secured another win against Peyton with a score of 35-33. The sibling rivalry is clearly strong, with Eli playfully pointing to his brother's lack of skills outside of football as a contributing factor to his ongoing victories. 'Peyton kind of keeps trying to steal my strategies,' Eli told Fox News Digital. 'He keeps trying to steal my playbook.' Eli highlighted Peyton's struggle with skills challenges, stating, 'He didn't think about, and he didn't really worry about, the skill challenges last year. He was all worried about the playbook and the X’s and O’s on the field where we just dominated him in the skills. Peyton’s not good at dodgeball. Peyton’s not good at ping pong. He’s not good at pool,' Eli said. 'All he did was play football growing up, so he never learned any other skill. He didn’t know how to coach the players in some of those skills.' Eli, however, boasts his own skills, mentioning his past experience in tug-of-war as a potential advantage. 'I almost went pro in tug-of-war years ago,' Eli said. \Despite Peyton's preparation, which includes studying and consulting with experts for the skills challenges, including a relay race and dodgeball, Eli plans to rely on his instincts and experience playing flag football. Both brothers are excited to celebrate the season and meet the star players who made it to the Pro Bowl. Eli shared his anticipation for spending time with these athletes, saying, 'I watch these guys every Sunday competing on the AFC and NFC side. To get to know them a bit, to get to hang out with them and see their personalities off the field is what I look forward to the most.' Eli Manning launched a single barrel bourbon, Eli Manning’s 2025 Bold Pick, in partnership with Knob Creek, just in time for the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl LIX. 'I got to go down to Kentucky and hand pick this bourbon,' Eli told Fox News Digital. The 2025 Pro Bowl will feature exciting players like Travis Kelce, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Myles Garrett, Cameron Heyward, and Joe Thuney on the AFC team. The NFC roster boasts talented athletes such as Jared Goff, Kyle Juszczyk, George Kittle, Lane Johnson, Nick Bosa, and Justin Jefferson. The flag-football showdown is set for Sunday, February 2nd, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida
