Bucs’ Martin, Winston lend highlights to high-scoring Pro Bowl

MI, Ru.Wilson 8-12-0-164, Bridgewater 6-8-1-129, J. Winston 6-12-0-113. He has been one of the stand out quarterback of the past season, and in his final seven games of the regular season he piled on 24 touchdown passes, while giving up just one interception. Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman (25) of Team Irvin was defending Hilton on the play.

Team Rice scored on the opening series of the second half on a 2-yard run by Buccaneers running back Doug Martin.

The interception from Bridgewater was made up for on a two-yard pass to Darren Sproles, who found the end zone easily. Kansas City’s Andy Reid coached Team Rice. In the first half, Johnny Hekker, a punter for the Los Angeles Rams, threw a 10-yard pass for Team Rice.

Griffen applied pressure on Wilson on a couple of plays and finished with three tackles, the third-highest total for Team Rice. Then on the next play, Wilson completed a back of the end two-point conversion pass to Jones.

But Team Irvin put the game away with three straight TDs: a 50-yard catch by Robinson from Bridgewater, a 53-yard reception by Walker from Winston and a 7-yarder by Hopkins, also thrown by Winston.

Taylor was the first Bills quarterback to compete in a Pro Bowl since Drew Bledsoe did it in 2002. Starting Team Irvin quarterback Russell Wilson will feel like a whole new man after taking 44 sacks this season (tied for third-most in the league). The 18th-year veteran was voted into the Pro Bowl and he laced up his cleats for one last game. He led scoring drives on three of Team Irvin’s first four possessions. Every single quarterback who suited up for Team Irvin threw for over 100 yards and two or more scoring tosses.

On the other side, Rice drafted Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry with his third pick and went with the Oakland Raiders’ duo of quarterback Derek Carr and wide receiver Amari Cooper with his next two picks. The touchdown was set up by a back-to-back completions of 14 yards and 20 yards to Cedric Peerman and Odell Beckham Jr. There’s an AFC North player from each team on Team Irvin’s offensive line. During the hit, Winston lost control and the ball was recovered by Khalil Mack of Team Rice with 5:29 left in the game. Both teams have some of the best past rushers and defensive linemen in the game, as Team Irvin has both Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins and Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah.

Eli Manning of the New York Giants was the first pick by Team Rice
