The NFL Should Replace the Pro Bowl With a Third-Place Game

If you’re not first, you could still not be fourth

I’m officially sold on a 3rd place game in the NFL.

A bronze medal or trophy still looks pretty nice on your shelf. Worth playing for!

An empty-the-playbook NFL game? Yes, please.

The NFL should do a 3rd place game every year the week before the Super Bowl. The two losers from the conference championships duke it out for the 10th overall draft pick in the upcoming draft. Make it happen Roger.

I would rather fight in a restarted World War I than watch a meaningless NFL third place game.

I like it in theory, but it would almost surely just end up suffering from the same issue as the Pro Bowl, in that no starter is going to risk getting hurt on a game that doesn't really matter.

You literally explain why it’s actually a bad idea and the exact same as the pro bowl at the end. There is zero reason to have a 3rd place game
