Attendance at the game was 48,222.[7] John Madden of the Oakland Raiders coached the AFC, while the NFC was led by the San Francisco 49ers' Dick Nolan.[2][6] The referee for the contest was Fred Silva.[8]
Both teams had 41 players; the winners earned $2,000 each and losers received $1,500.[2] The game was played a week after Super Bowl V, held in Miami.
This was the first Pro Bowl to feature the AFC vs. the NFC format, which was used through 2013, then resumed in 2017.
