This format has generated more competitive games with teams selected strategically versus by fan vote. With the last three scores, Team Irvin owned a 49-21 lead over Team Rice. Oakland teammate Charles Woodson, in his last professional game, had one tackle for Team Rice. Even Michael Irvin, the pseudo general manager of Team Irvin, joked that he wants Yanda running some routes as a receiver. But Team Rice would get no closer.
Just two minutes later, Bridgewater and the offense of Team Irvin jumped to a 35-21 margin on a 50-yard touchdown between the quarterback and wide receiver, Allen Robinson.
Seven different Team Irvin players caught touchdown passes, and their teammates intercepted six passes in the victory. Bridgewater also threw Team Irvin’s lone interception of the evening when he was intercepted by rookie Marcus Peters in the first quarter.
Landry caught a 31-yard TD pass from Buffalo’s Tyrod Taylor with 6:05 remaining in the game. Clearly, Team Irvin has to be the favorites in the game now right?
