The NFC took home their third straight Pro Bowl, topping the AFC 76-63 after various skill-challenge competitions, including a flag football game that closed out the festivities. Eli Manning led the NFC to victory, defeating his brother Peyton, who coached the AFC. Peyton did have a win, though, as his son Marshall stole the show with a slick pass to Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff took home offensive MVP honors after he threw for 126 yards and three touchdowns on a near perfect 10-for-11 passing line during the flag football game. Minnesota Vikings defensive back Byron Murphy won the MVP award on the defensive side of the ball after a pick-six during the showdown.
