NFL Pro Bowl: Barkley on defense, lateral fun, Ramsey TD catch

The NFL Pro Bowl will never be confused with a serious game, but Sunday's installment took its playful nature to another level. There was an attempted no-look pass from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, an NFC defense that included running backs Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott and receiver Mike Evans on the field at the same time, an interception return that included three laterals, and a touchdown catch by Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

And there was the added "drama" of the NFC trying to avoid being the first team in Pro Bowl history to be shut out. It got off the hook when Falcons tight end Austin Hooper caught a 20-yard touchdown pass with 9:05 left in the game.

The AFC rolled to a 26-7 victory, with New York Jets safety Jamal Adams winning defensive MVP and Mahomes earning offensive MVP honors.

Here's a look at the scene and the action on Pro Bowl Sunday:

Mahomes threw for 156 yards and a touchdown to win offensive MVP honors. "It was awesome," said Mahomes, who completed 7 of 14 passes, including a 50-yarder to Los Angeles Chargers receiver Keenan Allen. "To be in this experience and have this honor to be in this game, it really is an honor. I was glad that I won it, but credit to my teammates, they made some plays for me."

One of those teammates was fullback Anthony Sherman, who caught three passes for 92 yards and also ran for a 1-yard touchdown. Allen (95 yards) was the only player for either team with more receiving yards than Sherman. Mahomes was hoping his Chiefs teammate would have won the award, which would have made Sherman the first fullback to win MVP honors since the San Diego Chargers' Keith Lincoln in 1965.Read more
