HONOLULU -- Russell Wilson threw three first-half touchdown passes to lead Team Irvin to a 49-27 victory over Team Rice in the Pro Bowl on Sunday.

He threw touchdown passes of 14 and 2 yards to Atlanta Falcons teammates Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman, respectively, in the opening quarter.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie of the New York Giants had two of Team Irvin's six interceptions.
After Kelce's 4-yard reception from Manning gave Team Rice a 7-0 lead, Jones tip-toed the left sideline just after hauling in Wilson's pass near the back corner of the end zone for a 14-yard score.
Freeman had five touches (three carries, two receptions) on the drive that culminated in his TD grab. The drive was set up by an interception by Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee off Manning.
Kelce caught the second of his two TD on a 10-yard pass from Oakland's Derek Carr to cut Team Rice's deficit to 21-14. Carr completed 14-of-25 passes and finished with a game-high 198 passing yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
Raiders running back Latavius Murray led all rushers with nine carries and 42 yards Sunday. Rookie wide receiver Amari Cooper caught one pass for 23 yards.
Team Irvin added a score late in the second quarter on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Bridgewater to Sproles to hold a 28-14 lead after two quarters.
The halftime festivities included a parade of local high school football players. Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, a Honolulu native, led his alma mater, Saint Louis School, onto the field during the procession and was greeted by loud cheers from the sellout crowd of 50,000.
It was the 35th time the NFL's annual all-star game was played at Aloha Stadium dating to 1980, and the third consecutive season that it has used an "unconferenced" format.
The game was played at in Glendale, Arizona, last year. The site of next year's Pro Bowl has not yet been determined by the NFL, although it does have an option to return to Hawaii.
