Recap: For the second straight Pro Bowl game, it was a nip and tuck affair all throughout and the result was not decided until the waning moments of the match. Trailing 13-to-19 late in the fourth, the NFC forced an interception courtesy of Dallas Cowboys cornerback Everson Walls to give his team the key possession. Despite facing a fourth-and-seven, the NFC completed their drive to the end zone to produce a touchdown with just 31 seconds to go giving the lead, 20-to-19 to the NFC and the game. San Diego Chargers quarterback Dan Fouts and Green Bay Packers wide receiver John Jefferson were named the best players of the game.
