After filling it up, the team will attempt to hit the target with a football, which will drop someone from the opposing team into the tank.There will also be an event where we'll find out which team has the best QB-WR combination. In this timed event, receivers will be asked to make a specific style of catch -- diving, one-handed, etc. -- before they can move on to the next target. There will also be an accuracy competition that will have one big twist: One player in the competition won't be a quarterback. Each team in the accuracy competition will have three players with two
