AFC Wins Pro Bowl, 41-34

In a game short on defense, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison's interception of a Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo pass intended for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson with just over two minutes remaining in the game sealed the AFC's 41-34 win over the NFC in the 2010 AFC/NFC Pro Bowl in Miami, Florida.

Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub led the AFC attack, completing 13-of-17 passes for 189 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while San Diego Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson led all receivers with 122 yards on seven receptions, including a 48-yard touchdown pass from Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback David Garrard.

Schaub, who was an alternate when the initial roster was announced, was named the game's Most Valuable Player.

The 835 combined passing yards by the AFC and NFC were a Pro Bowl record, aided by opposing pass-rushers often going at 3/4 speed, a pace that didn't stop Texas defensive end Mario Williams from registering a pair of quarterback sacks on NFC quarterbacks.

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice led all rushers with 42 yards on 7 carries, and Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White had a game-high 8 receptions, gaining 84 yards.

The game's longest play came on a 58-yard touchdown pass from Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (15-of-18, 197 yards, 2 TDs) to DeSean Jackson at the start of the 3rd quarter. New York Giants wide receiver Steve Smith caught a 48-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers in the first quarter.

Cleveland Browns return specialist Joshua Cribbs, who was named to the NFL's All-Decade team for the 2000s prior to the game, had a 65-yard punt return.
