FC Holds Off AFC With 4th-Down Stop in NFL Pro Bowl Games (64-59)

The NFL Pro Bowl Games have taken on a new form in recent years, and while football diehards have their opinions, it’s difficult to replicate a real football game (with tackling and injuries) just for fun. Instead, the pro bowl games provided a spectacle of skills competitions and flag football this weekend in Orlando featuring the NFL’s super-brothers, Peyton and Eli Manning, leading the teams. Here’s how it went down.

The NFC dominated the skills competitions, outscoring the AFC 30-9 in all skills games prior to the 7-on-7 showdown, but it was the AFC who showed up for the flag football game and a huge late-Sunday comeback (50-34). Unfortunately for Peyton’s AFC side, little brother Eli won his second straight pro bowl with the NFC thanks to a 4th-down stop on the goal line with 10 seconds left. Fun times were had, and that’s what the pro bowl is all about.
