The 1980 Pro Bowl was the NFL's 30th annual all-star game which featured the outstanding performers from the 1979 season. The game was played on Sunday, January 27, 1980, at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii before 48,060 fans.[1] The final score was NFC 37, AFC 27.[2]
Don Coryell of the San Diego Chargers lead the AFC team against an NFC team coached by Dallas Cowboys head coach Tom Landry.[1] The referee was Dick Jorgensen.[1]
Chuck Muncie of the New Orleans Saints was named the game's Most Valuable Player.[2] Players on the winning NFC team received $5,000 apiece while the AFC participants each took home $2,500.[3]
Starting in his seventh and final Pro Bowl, defensive end Jack Youngblood of the Los Angeles Rams played in the game with a fractured left fibula, just as he had played during the NFC Divisional Playoff and in Super Bowl XIV.[2] [4]
This was the first of thirty consecutive Pro Bowls played in Honolulu. It also marked a return to the game being played on a Sunday.
