The Pro Bowl started with a touchdown. Then came another.

So, it’s about what you figured it would be. All offense with one defensive play setting up another score

It’s Team Irvin vs. Team Rice -- as in Michael Irvin’s picks vs. Jerry Rice’s picks -- and the offenses are off to a hot start. Team Rice went up 7-0 on an Eli Manning to Travis Kelce touchdown pass, and Team Irvin came right back with a Russell Wilson touchdown pass to Julio Jones.

Team Irvin went for two and didn’t get it, but Sean Lee then intercepted a Manning pass. Wilson and Team Rice turned that into a touchdown pass from Wilson to Devonta Freeman.

Team Irvin went for two again, and Wilson found Jones wide open for a 14-7 lead late in the first quarter.

More touchdowns are coming. Hopefully everyone stays healthy as the defenses mostly watch.
