First-time Pro Bowlers Bridgewater, Smith & Barr Get Win

Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, safety Harrison Smith and linebacker Anthony Barr all had a hand in Team Irwin’s 49-27 victory over Team Rice, which featured Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson and defensive end Everson Griffen.

Every Viking except Peterson was making his first Pro Bowl appearance. Peterson was named to the annual all-star game for the seventh time.

Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson was named the Offensive MVP. He opened the game and was 8-for-12 passing for 164 yards and three touchdowns.

Bridgewater, the second quarterback to appear for Team Irwin, tossed a pair of touchdown passes in the win.
