NFC Defeats AFC 30-21 in NFL 2009 Pro Bowl


Now that the NFL Pro Bowl game is completed the NFL season is officially over, it’s time to exchange last-second fieldLarry Fitzgerald - Arizona Cardinals goals and zebras tossing yellow hankies for LeBron slam dunks and NHL hockey brawls.

Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald continued his dominance in the NFL by winning the Pro Bowl MVP after catching 5 passes for 81 yards and 2 TD’s including a 46-yarder from Drew Brees and a 2-yarder from Eli Manning.

Placekicker 44-year-old John Carney was a perfect 3 out of 3 in field goal attempts pacing the NFC over the AFC 30-21. Carney is the oldest player ever to suit up in a Pro Bowl.

Brothers Peyton and Eli Manning were the first sibling combo to ever play in a Pro Bowl game and although Peyton had the better stats (12-of-17 for 151 yards 1 TD), Eli (8-of-14 for 111 yards 1 TD 1 INT)took home the victory.

Next year’s Pro Bowl will be played in Miami the week prior to the Super Bowl.
