Winston made it a 28-point game with a 7-yard dart to Hopkins, who finished with three catches for 71 yards. Team Rice threw six interceptions, while Team Irvin only tossed one, which turned out to be a huge factor for the trio of Wilson, Bridgewater and Winston to help get a win in the 2016 Pro Bowl.

The 2016 NFL Pro Bowl may be interesting for an unusual reason – rather than acting as a showcase for the top players in the NFL, this year’s game has turned out to be more like a “Futures Game” with the spotlight on the league’s young, up-and-coming talent.
The clock was run down by Team Irvin to allow the team to finalize a 49-27 victory over Team Rice.
Team Rice also had Bills representitive linemen Richie Incognito and Eric Wood. Palmer played in the NFC title game last week with an injured finger, Rodgers had knee surgery after his season ended and Roethlisberger played through a shoulder injury in the AFC semifinals. Taylor was intercepted three times overall.
