It took place at 8:00 PM EST on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, the home stadium of the Miami Dolphins and host site of Super Bowl XLIV. It was the first time that the Pro Bowl was played on the weekend before the Super Bowl.https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=3800446 Pro Bowl to precede Super Bowl ESPN December 30, 2008 December 30, 2008 The AFC won the game 41–34.https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap?gameId=300131031 Offenses light up soggy Pro Bowl scoreboard as AFC comes out on top January 31, 2010 ESPN February 2, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100204130746/http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=300131031 February 4, 2010 dead Site and date changes The 2010 Pro Bowl was held on the weekend before the Super Bowl, the first time ever that the Pro Bowl was held before the championship game, and the first time that the Pro Bowl was held somewhere other than Aloha Stadium in Honolulu since 1980 (1979 season). NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the move was made after looking at alternatives to strengthen the Pro Bowl.http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80dbeb16&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true 2010 Pro Bowl moving to Miami, will be played before Super Bowl December 30, 2008 December 31, 2008 NFL.com https://web.archive.org/web/20090102063837/http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80dbeb16&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true January 2, 2009 live The game was moved up in order to prevent a conflict that would have taken place if the game had taken place on February 13 or 14, with the game facing against the NBA All-Star Game, Winter Olympics, and Daytona 500. Due to the change, players from the conference championship teams, who were going to play in the Super Bowl the following week—the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints—did not participate. As a result, for the first time in Pro Bowl history, rosters for the AFC and NFC teams were not allowed to include any players from the teams that would be playing in the Super Bowl to avoid major injuries to members of either team. However, these players were still required to be on site for the Pro Bowl to collect a bonus payment from the NFL. Several NFL players spoke out against the decision regarding timing of the game; ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback Peyton Manning raised issue with the possibility that if the concept of rotating the location of the game were to continue, the 2012 game could be held in a cold-weather city (Indianapolis) not seen as a winter vacation destination. http://www.nfl.com/probowl/story?id=09000d5d80e91170&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true Players prefer the league's all-star game to stay in Hawaii NFL.com February 4, 2009 March 20, 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090307162259/http://www.nfl.com/probowl/story?id=09000d5d80e91170&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true March 7, 2009 dead NBC sportscaster Al Michaels was skeptical of the changes, telling the Honolulu Star-Bulletin that "the [NFL] thinks playing it before the Super Bowl will add to the buzz.

Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian also came out against the change, explaining that it seemed disruptive and "stupid" to have players voted to the Pro Bowl, only to have to sit out because they're playing in the Super Bowl, but still have to show up to the game to collect a bonus payment.Colts’ Polian calls new Pro Bowl setup ’stupid’. NFL.com. Retrieved January 27, 2010. Broadcasting ESPN aired the game instead of CBS, which aired the 52nd Grammy Awards that evening. Play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico and analysts Ron Jaworski and Jon Gruden called the game. The game was the first Pro Bowl to be legally broadcast on internet radio. As part of a catch in the league's broadcast contracts, the Pro Bowl has, to this point, never been broadcast on the NFL's FieldPass system due to it being broadcast exclusively by Westwood One. The NFL had negotiated internet broadcast rights with all 32 of its teams, but never did so with Westwood One (since it was seen as redundant); since none of the 32 teams actually play in the Pro Bowl, FieldPass did not hold rights. When contracts were renegotiated in 2009, Westwood One's broadcasts were added to FieldPass, and along with it, play-by-play of the Pro Bowl.Best Neil http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/watchdog/blog/2009/03/nfl_eschews_espn_sticks_with_w.html NFL eschews ESPN, sticks with Westwood One radio Newsday March 12, 2009 March 20, 2009 May 2026 medicmedic The Sports USA Radio Network provided the commentary for Westwood One, with SUSA's Larry Kahn on play-by-play and Dan Fouts sharing color commentary with Westwood One's Boomer Esiason.
