AFC Bested by NFC in a High-Scoring Pro Bowl

Alas, the NFC, riding high upon the Giants’ World Championship beat the AFC in the Pro Bowl Sunday, 42-30; continuing the trend of alternating conference Pro Bowl victories over the past six seasons.

Game balls were awarded to Antonio Cromartie, with 2 INTs (one off Jeff Garcia, the other off Tony Romo) and rookie Adrian Peterson (MIN) for his 2 rushing TDs on 129 yds.

Lorenzo Neal rushed for a TD on the heels of his recently recovered fractured leg; however, noticeably absent from Pro Bowl “festivities” were LaDainian Tomlinson, Jamal Williams, and Antonio Gates - all recovering from injuries sustained during the playoffs.

T.J. Houshmenzadeh caught 2 TDs, as did  Terrell Owens; with Chris Cooley and Larry Fitzgerald each snagging one.  Punter Andy Lee (from San Fran) completed his first NFL pass for a TD on a fake punt.

All Pro Bowl teammates from Washington donned Sean Taylor’s #21 jersey in honor of the fallen Redskin who was among the top vote earners for the game.
