NFL 2013 SEASON

[Duchess]

But I did read that Derrick Johnson tackled one of his actual Chiefs teammates, Jamaal Charles, because of the new rules. What the hell is that about? I thought it was AFC VS NFC.

Sorry for the cut & paste but I think the NFL will do a better job of explaining it than I could -

Gone is the familiar AFC vs. NFC match-up that has existed since 1971. Instead, players will be selected without regard to conference in voting by fans, coaches and players. For example, the top six quarterbacks following voting will earn distinction as All-Stars, regardless of how many are from AFC or NFC teams.

Players will be assigned to teams through the Pro Bowl Draft, in which two leading vote getters will join two NFL.com fantasy football champions -- who will attend the Pro Bowl -- to draft players. One of these champions will earn their spot as part of Lenovo's Fantasy Coach of the Year program, which provides NFL.com fans a chance to be rewarded for their fantasy football skills. The other champion can compete for a Pro Bowl role by playing at NFL.com/fantasy.
