Pro Bowl 2015: Final Results, Notable Highlights and Stats

The NFL has become a passing league, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the passing game stole the show at this year's Pro Bowl, won by Team Irvin over Team Carter, 32-28.

Matt Stafford won the Offensive MVP award, finishing 15-of-25 with 316 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Meanwhile, J.J. Watt, the league's most disruptive player and the Pro Bowl's Defensive MVP, intercepted a pass, recovered a fumble and deflected four passes.

Afterwards, Watt spoke about embracing his time at the game.

"I just tried to enjoy it," he told The Associated Press, via ESPN. "That's what the Pro Bowl is all about, giving the fans a good show. Everybody worked so hard to get here, you want to enjoy yourself and play some good ball. Guys are dancing around and having a good time, that's what it's all about."

Watt wasn't the only one who enjoyed his time at the game. Odell Beckham Jr. wowed everybody by successfully kicking a 45-yard field goal in the warmups—he is a former soccer player, remember—and made an incredible diving grab in the Pro Bowl. 

He finished the game with five receptions for 89 yards. It's insane to think that he's only a rookie. Or that he played this season with two hamstring tears, per Pro Football on ESPN:

What a career he has in front of him.

He wasn't the only one lighting it up at the game, of course. Greg Olsen and Jimmy Graham each hauled in two touchdown passes, and Graham wasn't shy about performing his trademark celebration that has since been outlawed by the NFL, dunking over the goalposts.

Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer has more from Graham on his decision to dunk:

Antonio Brown finished with six receptions for 98 yards, tying him with Darren Sproles for most catches in the game and Golden Tate for most receiving yards.

The running game certainly wasn't emphasized by either team, though Mark Ingram still managed to finish with 11 rushes for 72 yards while also catching two passes for another 17 yards. Defensively, Lawrence Timmons led all players with nine tackles, while Elvis Dumervil notched two sacks.

Outside of Watt, the only other player to nab an interception was Brent Grimes. And boy, was it a dandy.

All in all, it was a fun display and a bit of a show for fans who needed their football fix the weekend before the Super Bowl. With all of the drama surrounding Deflategate and sucking some of the anticipation out of the actual Super Bowl, it was nice to have some football to watch and a cast of players who seemed to be enjoying themselves in the exhibition.

The future of the Pro Bowl is in flux. That much seems certain given the rule changes we've seen in the game over the years, including the narrower goalposts this season. But at least for this year, the contest was entertaining.

Now bring on the Super Bowl and the real football.
