The Pro Bowl managed to be somewhat entertaining after the AFC looked like it didn't care for the entire first half. It was disappointing to see them only throw to Larry Fitzgerald three times (one of which was overthrown, and the other was knocked out of Fitz's hands by Revis) but at least the guy got a Touchdown on one of the kinds of plays that reminds you of why he is one of the best Receivers in the NFL, he just needs a Quarterback. It was still frustrating to see how much the NFC Quarterbacks were ignoring him though. As for the other guys, with how the Defenses are limited to base stuff in the Pro Bowl, Adrian Wilson seemed to just be in some kind of zone coverage the entire game and unless the AFC Quarterbacks threw the ball straight into his chest (which they did a few times with some of the other defenders in the first half) he couldn't really do much. And Darnell Dockett's only highlight was laughing at the streaker who ran onto the field, but the Defensive Liens as a whole really didn't do anything during the game.
