Good TV rating for Pro Bowl

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.--ESPN's telecast of the Pro Bowl on Sunday night was the most-watched Pro Bowl in 10 years, the network announced Monday.

The game drew just less than 12.3 million viewers, according to ESPN's announcement, the most for a Pro Bowl since the 2000 game on ABC drew 13.2 million viewers.

Pro Bowl viewership was up 40 percent from the 8.8 million viewers that last year's game on NBC drew.

The NFL moved the Pro Bowl this year from Hawaii to the Miami area and played it one week before the Super Bowl instead of the usual one week later.
