Derrick Henry states “I’d definitely like to stay in Tennessee”

The Tennessee Titans lost to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship last week, Derrick Henry made it clear that he’d like to stay in Tennessee. 

Derrick Henry is one of the 7 former Alabama Crimson Tide players who are participating in the 2020 Pro Bowl.

Although the Tennessee Titans lost to the Kansas Chiefs in the AFC Championship last Sunday, Derrick Henry made it clear that he’d like to stay in Tennessee.

Henry also shared this week that this team isn’t finished yet.

“I want to win a Super Bowl. Getting so close, it makes you hungrier. It’s something I will keep in the back of my mind. I will let it fuel me all offseason, fuel us, and it’s something we’ll keep working towards.”

Henry finished the 2019 season with 1,540 yard rushing and 16 rushing TDs as well as 206 yards receiving and 2 receiving touchdowns.

Brett Favre thinks Steve Hutchinson belongs in the Hall of Fame

Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre endorsed former Seattle Seahawks guard Steve Hutchinson for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

On February 1, 2020, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will choose five modern-era players from the 15-man ballot to elect into the class of 2020.

Of those 15 remaining players, two of them – running back Edgerrin James and guard Steve Hutchinson – played with the Seattle Seahawks.

Hutchinson has been a finalist a handful of times, and most believe this is the year he will finally get his bust in Canton.

Among those believers is Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, who played with Hutchinson for two years in Minnesota from 2009-2010.

Favre jumped on Twitter to voice his support for Hutch, calling him the best guard he’s ever played with and stating that he never gave up a sack or a pressure during their time as teammates.

Hutchinson was a seven time Pro Bowler and a five time All-Pro in a career that spanned from 2001-2012. He spent the first five seasons of his career in a Seahawks uniform, helping to form one of the best left sides of an offensive line in NFL history alongside Hall of Famer Walter Jones.

With a strong group of finalists, including James, Troy Polamalu, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce and Leroy Butler, it will be hard to limit the group to just five. However, Hutchinson’s career accolades are enough for him to reach the Hall, and 2020 might be his year.

Former Longhorns to watch in NFL Pro Bowl

Safety Earl Thomas and kicker Justin Tucker are the only former Texas players participating in the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl.

Two former Texas players will be participating in the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl today.

The conference-based all-star game is an annual event held the Sunday before the Super Bowl. Although no Kansas City Chiefs or San Francisco 49ers will be in attendance this year due to Super Bowl preparation, those selected will get the chance to compete with several of the best players in the league.

Safety Earl Thomas and kicker Justin Tucker will be the only former Longhorns participating. Thomas played in 15 games for the Baltimore Ravens this season, recording 49 total tackles, two sacks, and two interceptions.

Tucker recorded his second-highest season percentage in 2019, making 28 of 29 field goals and 57 of 59 extra points for the Ravens.

How to watch and stream 2020 Pro Bowl

The Jags will have three players participating in Sunday’s Pro Bowl in DJ Chark, Josh Allen, and Calais Campbell.

One of the NFL’s last two games for the 2019 season will be taking place just south of Jacksonville in Orlando Sunday as the American Football Conference will duke it out with the National Football Conference in the 2020 Pro Bowl. The game will also feature three members from the Jacksonville Jaguars in receiver DJ Chark Jr., defensive lineman Calais Campbell, and rookie pass rusher Josh Allen.

Sunday’s game will mark Campbell’s fifth Pro Bowl appearance. He’s made the roster the last three years (all of which were with the Jags) and was also able to earn Pro Bowl honors in 2014-15. He finished this season with 37 solo tackles, 6.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.

Both Chark and Allen will be attending their first Pro Bowls. Chark was able to accumulate 73 catches on the season for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns. His total in yardage made him the first Jaguar to hit the 1,000-yard mark since 2015 when Allen Robinson was able to do so, too.

Allen, on the other hand, is the first Jags rookie to attend the annual game. After falling in the Jags’ lap last April, he was able to lead all rookies in sacks  with 10.5 while also accumulating 31 solo tackles.

Here is how fans at home can check out all three Pro Bowlers and their comrades in Sunday’s Battle of the Conferences:

2020 Pro Bowl: Time, TV schedule and new rule changes

Everything you need to know for the 2020 Pro Bowl.

With one week to go before Super Bowl LIV, the 2020 Pro Bowl will take place on Sunday afternoon with some of the NFL’s biggest stars taking the field for one last time this season. The Los Angeles Rams had two players selected to the Pro Bowl, but only Aaron Donald will participate; Jalen Ramsey pulled out due to a knee injury.

So how can you watch Donald against the game’s best players? We’ve got you covered here with everything you need to know about the 2020 Pro Bowl, including the time, how to watch it and the new rule changes the NFL is testing.

Time: 3 p.m. ET

Location: Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla.

TV channel: ABC and ESPN

Streaming: WatchESPN

Betting line: AFC -1.5, O/U 52


Rule changes

The NFL is testing two new rule changes in the Pro Bowl to see how they would apply to official games in 2020 and beyond. One has to do with an alternative option to onside kicks, while the other aims to simplify false start penalties.

Onside kick

Instead of attempting an onside kick, the team that just scored a touchdown or field goal can opt to try a fourth-and-15 play from their own 25-yard line. If successful, they maintain possession and the drive continues as normal. If unsuccessful, the opposing team will take over possession at the dead ball spot.

If the team does not want to attempt an onside kick, rather than a regular kickoff, the opponent will simply get the ball at the 25-yard line.

False start

If an eligible receiver in a two-point stance (no hand on the ground) flinches or picks up one foot, it is not considered a false start as long as the other foot stays on the ground and the receiver resets at least one second before the snap.

How to watch the 2020 Pro Bowl

The info you need to watch the last game before the Super Bowl.

The Pro Bowl is the last football game before the Super Bowl next week. The AFC and NFC all-stars will compete in a friendly game of football that is all fun. Two Arizona Cardinals will be there as starters — safety Budda Baker and outside linebacker Chandler Jones.

There is money at stake for the players, so things will get competitive in the fourth quarter if the game is even. The players on the winning team get $74,000 and the losing team’s players get only $38,000.

The AFC has won the last three Pro Bowls and has a slight 24-22 lead all-time.

If you are planning on watching it, here is the info you need.

NFL will experiment with two new rules at 2020 Pro Bowl

The NFL will experiment with two new rules at the 2020 Pro Bowl.

The NFL will experiment with two rules changes at the 2020 Pro Bowl on Sunday afternoon. The first new rule will allow teams to attempt a long fourth-down situation in place of a traditional onside kick.

Following a successful field goal or extra point attempt, the scoring team (Team A) will have two options, according to the NFL:

Team A may elect to give Team B the ball at Team B’s 25-yard line (1st-and-10), beginning a new series of downs.

Team A may elect to take the ball at their own 25-yard line (4th-and-15).

If Team A is successful in making a first down, Team A will maintain possession and a new series of downs will continue as normal.

If Team A is unsuccessful in making a first down, the result will be a turnover on downs and Team B will take possession at the dead ball spot.

The league will also experiment with new pre-snap penalties. Here are the changes:

It is not a false start if a flexed, eligible receiver in a two-point stance who flinches or picks up one foot, as long as his other foot remains partially on the ground, and he resets for one second prior to the snap. A receiver who fits this exception is not considered to be “in motion” for purposes of the “illegal shift” rules.

It is a false start if all 11 offensive players have been set for at least one full second, and any flexed, eligible receiver breaks his stance by picking up both feet.

The Pro Bowl will air on ABC and ESPN on Jan. 26 at 1:00 p.m. MT.
