Highlights and notable moments from the Detroit Lions players at the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl.
Once again, I watched the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl so you wouldn’t have to.
On Sunday, the Pro Bowl Games wrapped up with a flag football game, interspersed with several more skills challenges. With six Detroit Lions players present, there was plenty to analyze from the event in Orlando, Florida.
Jared Goff wins Offensive MVP
Goff started as the NFC’s quarterback and quickly led his team to three scoring drives. According to the broadcast, Goff ended with 126 yards and three touchdowns. His performance earned him the Offensive MVP award, and the NFC won 76-63.
Additionally, Goff won the precision passing event on Thursday, making for an exciting weekend for the Lions quarterback. Here are a couple of his touchdown passes:
Jahmyr Gibbs grabs an impressive interception
As the game progressed, players swapped positions, and Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs found himself at cornerback. On a two-point conversion attempt to Marvin Mims Jr., Gibbs jumped and made the interception. He likely would’ve scored if not for half the AFC team stepping in to stop him.
Brian Branch picks off Joe Burrow
Branch represented the Lions secondary well, even though the NFL’s leader in interceptions was not selected for the game. Branch intercepted Joe Burrow on a short pass to Joe Mixon.
Lions OL help NFC claim event victories
Taylor Decker participated in the Pro Bowl tug-of-war and helped his team to victory.
Meanwhile, center Frank Ragnow took part in a six-player relay race, teaming up with Tristan Wirfs to flip large tires. The pair defeated the AFC duo of Rashawn Slater and Tyler Linderbaum, securing the necessary lead for their team to win the race.
Jack Fox narrowly loses his event
Jack Fox, the NFC’s punter, competed against Jaguars punter Logan Cooke in an accuracy challenge. Both punters had racks of footballs and aimed to boot as many as possible into six trashcans set up in a triangle 30 yards away—similar to an NBA three-point contest.
Fox and Cooke tied, then tied again in overtime. But Cooke ultimately won in sudden death.
