Odell Beckham Jr. and Josh Norman engaged in one of the most heated on-the-field disputes this season, but while they were both named to the Pro Bowl, they won't be facing off again.

In December, both players, who were each reprimanded for their aggressive antics towards one another in a game last year, were announced as part of the Pro Bowl line-up.

"Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and his sparring partner, Panthers defensive back Josh Norman, were both named Pro Bowl selections," the New York Daily News reported weeks ago, and, "there is the possibility they could even end up on the same team."

While there was a possibility that Beckham and Norman would once again be forced to play one another, or with one another, the Panthers have advanced to the Super Bowl, which makes Norman unavailable for the upcoming exhibition.

In an interview after their fight, Giants quarterback Eli Manning spoke out, weighing in on Beckham getting the brunt of the criticism.

“[Josh] just cried a little bit so I didn’t think that was really necessary,” Manning told the Daily News of Norman. “I think both those guys were going at it. I don’t think either one was in the right, but I didn’t think one was worse than the other.”

The Pro Bowl takes place this Sunday night, Jan. 31, in Hawaii.
