Honolulu, HI (My Sportsbook) - Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught two touchdowns, including the game-winning score late in the fourth quarter, as the NFC upended the AFC, 30-21, in the Pro Bowl. Sunday marked the 30th straight time the NFL's stars converged in Honolulu, but in a twist to the annual bout, commissioner Roger Goodell moved the 2010 showcase to Miami, where it will be played one week prior to the Super Bowl. Fitzgerald, whose Cardinals club lost a heartbreaking 27-23 decision to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII last Sunday, earned MVP honors while logging 81 receiving yards on five catches and a touchdown apiece from Drew Brees and Eli Manning. Brees finished with 142 passing yards on 11-of-19 throws, while last year's MVP, Adrian Peterson, rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown for the victors. Peyton Manning completed 12-of-17 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown for the AFC, which now trails in the all-time series, 20-19. Kerry Collins also threw a touchdown but was picked off and fumbled inside his own 20 to lead to an opposing TD. Tony Gonzalez and Owen Daniels each caught a touchdown in the loss, with Gonzalez posting a game-high 98 receiving yards on six grabs. HASH(0xa4f1bb0)
