Andrew Luck Nearly Said No to Playing in the Pro Bowl

Indianapolis Colts fans are going to get a chance to see their quarterback in action one more time this season when he takes the field for the Pro Bowl Sunday. The decision wasn't made until the day after the Colts were decimated by the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship.
