Rule differences
The Pro Bowl has different rules from other NFL games to make the game safer.[10][11]
No motion or shifting by the offense
Offense must have a tight end in all formations
Offense may not have three receivers on the same side
Intentional grounding is legal
Defense must run a 4–3 at all times
No press coverage except inside the five-yard line
No blitz
Not allowed to rush a punt, PAT or FG attempt
No calls can be challenged
In case of a tie after regulation, multiple 15-minute OT periods will be played (with each team receiving 3 time outs per 2 OTs), and teams receive one possession to score unless one of them scores a touchdown or safety on its first possession. True sudden death rules apply thereafter if both teams have had their initial possession and the game remains tied.
