The 2017 Pro Bowl was Sunday night, and the AFC got the best of the NFC, 20-13, in a surprisingly low-scoring all-star game.
Former Purdue stars Drew Brees and Cliff Avril highlighted the Big Ten, with the former tossing the NFC's lone touchdown and the latter registering a sack.
To be honest, there weren't a lot of stats from this one. Here's how Big Ten names fared, though.
OFFENSE
Drew Brees (Purdue), NFC: 10-19, 112 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Kirk Cousins (Michigan State), NFC: 14-20, 158 yards, 1 INT
Ezekiel Elliott (Ohio State), NFC: 8 car., 20 yards; 1 rec. 2 yards
Jordan Howard (Indiana), NFC: 5 car., 21 yards; 2 rec., 12 yards
DEFENSE
Cliff Avril (Purdue), NFC: 2 tackles, 1 sack
Sean Lee (Penn State), NFC: 1 tackle
Ryan Shazier (Ohio State), AFC: 5 tackles

This happened, too.
Zeke is a man of so many talents.
