2008 NFL Pro Bowl Results
Minnesota Vikings rookie back Adrian Peterson rushed for 129 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead the NFC to a 42-30 victory over the AFC in the National Football League's Pro Bowl game.
The Offensive Rookie of the Year, Peterson scored in the third quarter to give the NFC its first lead 28-27. He capped the scoring with a six-yard score in the fourth quarter of Sunday's American gridiron all-star game.
Peterson's performance earned him the MVP award. The last time a rookie won the MVP was in 1995 when Marshall Faulk earned the honours.
Faulk is also the only player in Pro Bowl history to rack up more rushing yards (180) than Peterson did on Sunday.
Sunday's game was just icing on the cake for Peterson and a reminder to the rest of the league that the Vikings have one of the most explosive weapons in the game.
The former US college star at Oklahoma missed almost three games to injury, and still rushed for 1,341 yards and 12 touchdowns.
He set the NFL single-game record with 296 yards against the San Diego Chargers.
The AFC led early on, opening up a 24-7 advantage in the second quarter.
Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh of the Cincinnati Bengals caught a TD pass from Peyton Manning in the first quarter and hauled in a scoring strike from Ben Roethlisberger in the second to give the AFC a 17-point cushion.
The NFC cut the lead to 27-21 at the half as Dallas Cowboys teammates Tony Romo and Terrell Owens hooked up for a six-yard TD and Matt Hasselbeck of the Seattle Seahawks threw a 17-yard TD pass to Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley.
Manning completed 11-of-16 passes for 147 yards. Romo was 9-of-16 for 87 yards and a pair of TDs.
