Pro Bowl Games Recap: NFC Tops AFC in Flag Football Showcase Ahead of Super Bowl 60
With Super Bowl 60 just around the corner, the NFL’s brightest stars took center stage in San Francisco for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games - and the NFC walked away with bragging rights, outlasting the AFC with a 66-52 win in the flag football finale.
While the Pro Bowl has evolved over the years, shifting from full-contact to a more playful, skills-focused format, the competitive fire still burns. And this year, it was Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott who lit it up.
Prescott was nearly flawless, completing 11 of 13 passes for 169 yards and four touchdowns. That kind of efficiency in a flag football setting - where timing, chemistry, and quick reads are everything - is a testament to his poise and precision.
Let’s break down some of the standout moments and names from a weekend that was equal parts fun and fiercely competitive.
Jalen Hurts Returns to the Pro Bowl Stage
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was back in the Pro Bowl spotlight for his second appearance. The two-time Super Bowl participant has become a fixture among the league’s elite, and while this wasn’t his first rodeo, it was another reminder of his standing as one of the NFC’s top playmakers. He even got creative with a trick play - though that one didn’t go quite as planned.
Kyle Hamilton Shows Off the Swiss Army Knife Skillset
On that trick play dialed up by the NFC, Hurts tried to catch the AFC defense off guard - but Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton wasn’t having it. The do-it-all defender read the play perfectly and came up with an interception, killing the NFC’s momentum on that drive. Hamilton’s versatility has been a storyline all season, and he brought that same energy to the Pro Bowl, showing he can impact the game in any format.
All-Pro Arrivals and Notable Faces
Saints linebacker Zack Baun and the ever-reliable wideout Cooper Kupp - an All-Pro once again - were among the familiar faces suiting up for the NFC. Their presence brought both star power and stability to the squad. Meanwhile, Eagles center Jason Kelce was in attendance but notably without his quarterback - a lighthearted moment in a weekend full of them.
The Pro Bowl Games continue to be a celebration of the league’s top talent, but also a chance for players to connect, compete, and have a little fun before the intensity of the Super Bowl takes over. With the NFC’s win in the books, all eyes now turn to the main event: Super Bowl 60. But for now, the NFC gets to enjoy a well-earned victory - and maybe a little extra locker room swagger.
