Pro Bowl 2025: LSU receivers score 8 times as the NFC tops the AFC in the Pro Bowl Games again, Past Winners List.
— With Olympic flag football three years away, this much is becoming clear: the U.S. team should want a former LSU receiver on its roster.
The four ex-Tigers competing in the Pro Bowl Games scored a combined eight touchdowns in a flag football contest that capped the NFC’s third consecutive victory over the AFC, 76-63 on Sunday.
Rookie Malik Nabers of the New York Giants found the end zone twice for the NFC, and Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson also scored. Jefferson caught six passes for 46 yards. Nabers finished with five receptions for 62 yards.
The NFC essentially sealed the win by returning two interceptions for touchdowns in the second half, giving coach Eli Manning a third consecutive win over big brother and AFC coach Peyton. Arizona’s Budda Baker and Minnesota’s Byron Murphy delivered the big defensive plays in a made-for-TV event designed to showcase offense.
Jared Goff, who got the NFC off to a strong start with his near-perfect performance in a skills competition Thursday, completed 10 of 11 passes for 126 yards and three touchdowns. Goff and Murphy earned MVP honors.
Who won the Pro Bowl MVP in 2025?
After a commanding win from the NFC, Byron Murphy, who secured a pivotal pick-6 at the start of the fourth quarter was named Defensive MVP. Meanwhile, Jared Goff, who quarterbacked the NFC to a huge lead in the first two quarters was named Offensive MVP.
A Brief History of the Pro Bowl Games
The concept of an all-star game in professional football dates back to 1939, when the NFL Champion New York Giants faced a team of pro all-stars in Los Angeles. These games continued until 1942 and were revived in 1950 as the "Pro Bowl," featuring standout players from the league. With the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, the Pro Bowl adopted the AFC vs. NFC format, which became a staple for decades. In recent years, the format has evolved, introducing skills challenges and other events to increase fan engagement.
