ORLANDO, Fla. — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson threw three touchdowns, but the AFC was dominated 76-57 in the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games at Camping World Stadium on Sunday.
Playing in his 10th Pro Bowl, Wilson entered as the second quarterback into the game for AFC, following Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
Wilson was sacked by Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/kick returner KaVonte Turpin on his first drive and then threw incomplete on fourth down, but he came back to throw touchdowns to Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon.

The game was the third straight Pro Bowl win for the NFC. Former NFL quarterbacks Eli and Payton Maning were the head coaches for the third straight year, with Eli winning all three matchups.
The format of the Pro Bowl was changed for the 2023 game, incorporating skills competitions throughout the week and during the game on Sunday, with the marquee event changing from an 11-on-11 full contact game to a 7-on-7 flag football contest.
The NFC not only won on the flag football field, but they won a multi-man relay race and swept a tug of war contest that were held during the quarter breaks of the game on Sunday.
Jared Goff, quarterback for the Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy were named the offensive and defensive MVPs of the Pro Bowl.
