The 2018 Pro Bowl managed to fit the billing after the AFC completed a thrilling comeback victory over the NFC. Leading the way were Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker and Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, who both earned the game's MVP award.
As a result of their stellar performances, each player was given their choice of a luxurious Genesis automobile. According to ESPN's Michael DiRocco, Walker plans to put the car to good use:
“I think I'm going to get the black,” Walker said. “But I think we can get any car we want. It doesn't matter. It's not just that car. They say you can pick a car off the lot.
“I'm going to keep that car. Why would I sell it? It's free. I'm about to drive it so much. That's going to be my every-day car.”
The NFC came out firing on all cylinders after capitalizing on some costly errors from their AFC counterparts. They even managed to capture a commanding 20-3 lead going into halftime.
However, the AFC managed to storm back in the second half to score two touchdowns in the third quarter. It was there that the spectacular play of Walker and Miller ultimately proved to be the difference.
The veteran tight end recorded four catches for 29 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner to put his team ahead. Meanwhile, Miller showed once again why he is a former Super Bowl MVP with a clutch strip-sack on Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff on the final drive to seal the game for the AFC.
