One week before Super Bowl 49 kicks off, some of the best players in the NFL will face off in the 2015 Pro Bowl.
After a long, grinding season, getting the chance to play in the NFL's all-star game is the reward for some of the best players in football, and they'll do so in the same city that hosts this year's Super Bowl. Though it's not as physical or hard-hitting as a regular game is, the Pro Bowl has seen better competition over the past few years after almost being cancelled due to players treating it like a flag-football affair.
The Cincinnati Bengals will be well represented by QB Andy Dalton, DT Geno Atkins, WR AJ Green and P Kevin Huber. Green and Huber made the Pro Bowl outright, while Dalton and Atkins snuck in as alternates. Here is all the details you'll need to watch this year's Pro Bowl.

Some rules
Via NFL.com
Game within the Game -- A two-minute warning will be added to the first and third quarters and the ball will change hands after each quarter. This will increase the opportunities for quarterbacks to direct "two-minute drills," which are especially exciting for fans.
No Kickoffs -- The coin toss will determine which team is awarded possession first. The ball will be placed on the 25-yard line at the start of each quarter and after scoring plays.
Cover Two and Press Coverage -- The defense will be permitted to play "cover two" and "press" coverage. In previous years, only "man" coverage was permitted, except for goal line situations.
Stopping of the Game Clock -- Beginning at the two-minute mark of every quarter, if the offense does not gain at least one yard, the clock will stop as if the play were an incomplete pass. This rule will make the team with the ball attempt to gain yardage toward the end of each quarter.
Game Timing -- The game clock will start after an incomplete pass on the signal of the referee, except inside the last two minutes of the first half and the last five minutes of the second half.
Play Clock -- A 35-second/25-second play clock will be adopted instead of the typical 40-second/25-second clock.
Sacks -- The game clock will not stop on quarterback sacks outside of the final two minutes of the game. Currently, the game clock stops in these situations outside of two minutes of the second and fourth quarters.
