NFC beats AFC 64-59 in NFL Pro Bowl Games all-star event
Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield and New Orleans linebacker Demario Davis led the NFC over the AFC 64-59 on Sunday in the NFL Pro Bowl Games all-star competition.
The event, contested in Orlando, had sibling rivals Eli and Peyton Manning serving as coaches in the relaxed-atmosphere event, with Eli guiding the NFC to the victory.
The AFC outscored the NFC 50-34 in flag football competition while the NFC dominated team skills events by 18-0 on Sunday after seizing a 12-9 edge in Thursday skills competitions.
Mayfield won the Precision Passing final and threw a touchdown to CeeDee Lamb in flag football to earn the Offensive Most Valuable Player award.
"A lot of guys made plays. It was just so much fun," Mayfield said. "Just taking advantage of the opportunity and happy to be here."
Davis, who led the Saints with 121 tackles, was named the Defensive Most Valuable Player.
"I had a lot of great teammates, the best in the business," Davis said. "You've got to be locked in mentally and that's how we showed up."
