NFL Pro Bowl 2016
The try for 2 failed to cut Team Irvin’s lead to 49-27 with about six minutes remaining.
Team Rice’s Derek Carr had 198 yards passing. The site of next year’s Pro Bowl has not yet been determined by the National Football League, although it does have an option to return to Hawaii.
Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson was named the Offensive MVP.
Overall, four Dolphins players participated in the NFL’s annual all-star game.
Meanwhile, All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman played a little offense too-running a laughable reverse for -22 yards.
NFC format ran from 1970 until 2013, when the National Football League attempted to revive interest in the game, which had always struggled to find an audience, by naming two honorary captains and allowing them to “draft” players from a single pool of Pro Bowl players. Team Rice’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce from Giants quarterback Eli Manning answered by a 14-yard strike from Wilson to Falcons receiver Julio Jones.
Russell Wilson threw three first-half touchdown passes for Team Rice. “For me being a young guy, I’m just watching these guys and how they work and trying to get to that consistent level that those guys are at”. Winston made it a 28-point game with a 7-yard dart to Hopkins, who finished with three catches for 71 yards.
Rightly so. Dozens of players voted into it don’t want anything to do with the game, either.
But the quarterback who led the Seahawks to the Super Bowl the past two seasons, winning once and coming up short against New England a year ago, admitted to a TV interviewer in the second half that “obviously it sucks to not be in the Super Bowl”.
