In less than an hour, the 2013 Pro Bowl will kick off from Honolulu, Hawaii at 7:00 PM ET on NBC. When it does, Buffalo Bills fans will have their last opportunity to catch three of their favorite players in action until July, when the intensity of said action will likely trump what's on display this evening.
C.J. Spiller replaces Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens on the AFC squad as the third running back, where he'll platoon behind Arian Foster of the Houston Texans and Jamaal Charles of the Kansas City Chiefs this evening.
Kyle Williams replaces another Raven, Haloti Ngata, on the defensive line. He's one of three defensive tackles on the roster; Geno Atkins of the Cincinnati Bengals and Randy Starks of the Miami Dolphins are the others. Along with J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans, Williams will likely be part of a deep rotation of linemen on the evening.
Finally, a third Raven - Ed Reed - will be replaced by Jairus Byrd, who will be making his first Pro Bowl appearance (like Spiller) despite having been voted in as a rookie. Byrd will be part of a three-man safety rotation also featuring Kansas City's Eric Berry and LaRon Landry of the New York Jets.
This thread is designated for those of you who will be watching tonight's NFL all-star game. Enjoy it; we'll see you again bright and early tomorrow morning. Go Bills!
