Rashan Gary, Xavier McKinney, and Josh Jacobs are showing off their skills during Pro Bowl week
The Pro Bowl is underway this week, and the Green Bay Packers have three players representing the team: safety Xavier McKinney, running back Josh Jacobs, and defensive end Rashan Gary. In addition to the game itself, the NFL hosts various events, including a relay race, dodgeball, and a Madden NFL 25 competition.
At Pro Bowl week, Gary and McKinney took part in an event similar to The Newlywed Game called “Helmet Harmony” where Terry Crews alternated asking AFC and NFC pairs a question of one player while their teammate tried to match his answer. Gary and McKinney faced off against Buffalo Bills offensive linemen Dion Dawkins and Connor McGovern in the second round of players.
Based on the format of the show, the first question was presumably for Rashan Gary regarding their least favorite city to play in. When it was their turn to show their answers, McKinney and Gary both wrote down Chicago, which gave the NFC team a point. When Crews asked why that was his answer, Gary said, “Everybody knows the reason. What’s understood don’t got to be explained...Go Pack Go.”
The Chicago Bears beat the Packers at Lambeau Field in the final game of the regular season, ending an 11-game winning streak for Green Bay. Despite what has been a lopsided rivalry, the hatred is clearly still alive and well between the teams.
The next question was for Xavier McKinney. Crews asked what other position he would play. McKinney and Gary both answered running back, to which McKinney beamed saying Gary knows him so well. The final question in their round was picking their coach’s favorite player on the team. Both answered that Matt LaFleur’s favorite is quarterback Jordan Love which McKinney called an easy question.
The Packers went 3 for 3 in their answers while the Bills went 2 for 3. The Packers extended the NFC’s lead over the AFC which contributed to their 7-5 win over the AFC. You can watch the full video on the NFL’s YouTube account.
Meanwhile, Josh Jacobs did his part in a trivia game about Pro Bowlers during the skills challenge by answering every single question correctly. Each correct answer gave an extra 10 seconds for Detroit Lions’ quarterback Jared Goff in the passing challenge.
Rashan Gary will also be participating in the NFC vs AFC Tug-Of-War game that’s set to take place ahead of the main Flag Football game event on Sunday, February 2nd. Here’s to hoping the Packers have a clean sweep of W’s in their Pro Bowl weekend!
