NFL Pro Bowl 2017: AFC 20 NFC 13 recap and thoughts

Pro Bowl 2017, the last chance for many fans to see their idols in action with regard to this season, in particular, as stated by Philip Rivers the last time you will see players on the field of the San Diego Chargers. The first quarter was dominated by the defenses, on the one hand the NFC with Bennett and Wagner forced a fumble by DeMarco Murray hands and on the other hand, the AFC has sported an excellent goaline stand against Ezekiell Elliott recovering possession of the ball. The second quarter saw the lead the AFC with a TD pass from Smith to tight end Delanie Walker on a vertical Seem. Later they came the backup quarterbacks, Brees and Dalton have taken the place of Prescott and Smith. Just the Bengals quarterback was the first quarterback to throw an interception, the author Richard Sherman on a careful vertical Seem to Emmanuel Sanders. Then Brees has exploited a misunderstanding between Reggie Nelson and Chris Harris finding Doug Baldwin alone, free to score the first touchdown for the conference and blue tie the game. Shortly before the end of the second quarter of the AFC it is back ahead thanks to a very well-executed play action that saw Kelce receive and score his first touchdown in the Pro Bowl on a crossing route. The third quarter saw a single signature, a field goal from 38 yards to Tucker that stretched the advantage to 10 points in the AFC. Around the middle of the third quarter it was the turn to enter the field of third quarterbacks, Rivers and Cousins ​​who have completed the game for their respective teams. In the fourth quarter of the NFC attempted comeback first with a field goal from 42 yards Prater then less than a minute from the end of the passage of Cousins ​​was intercepted by Lorenzo Alexander after being deflected into the air by Jimmy Graham dand off a roccambolesca action terminated by Cousins ​​that caused a fumble to Aquib Talib came in possession of the ball with a side passage to the point of insanity of Alexander, the ball after a review of the AFC referees remained kneeling that concluded the Pro Bowl and took home a victory that will make the players happy. Happiness had the $ 61,000 prize for the winner, more for the two MVP Kelce and Alexander also came a new machine, which has been a desire from the beginning of the Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen who hoped to win it saw the need to replace his car.
The format AFC vs NFC in my view has less charm than that of the draft where the two happened to choose the players, despite all the criticism passed the Pro Bowl for the past three years has been as well as fun for the show even more intense and heard by the defenses that does not undergo more than 40 points or more. The introduction of man coverage has stimulated the defensive backs to defend with more intensity and the prize money, notwithstanding that it is not a large figure has created a good show. Remaining a friendly match in a collision sport I would give it a positive vote saw the improved sense of competition than in previous years and compared to other all star game as the NBA and NHL, where the defenses dodge literally making them even offensive performances. Having played the Pro Bowl in Orlando and not to 'Aloha Stadium in Honululu as 35 of the past 37 editions has seen a much larger audience for obvious geographical reasons. Another thing that has entertained a lot was the Pro Bowl Skills Challenge me where even the punter and kicker have found a way to impress the public, for instance facendoni baskets with their feet by large distances, not to mention the outlets Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. balls launched by drones from over 100 feet tall. The show offered to me taken in the right spirit is really nice and I recommend it to all football fans and not wanting to see the playful side's play hard.
