At the very least, it was a competitive game throughout. Of course, the word “competitive” comes with a big asterisk, since both sides took unnecessary risks on fourth down and ran trick plays with reckless abandon. But there was plenty of scoring throughout, which is always fun to see.
Team Carter took the lead when Andrew Luck hit Greg Olsen for a 17-yard touchdown in the first quarter, and took it back again while running a two-minute offense at the end of the same frame. That time, Luck hit T.Y. Hilton for a 14-yard touchdown (Team Carter then failed the two-point conversion attempt).
Drew Brees also had a pair of touchdown passes for Team Carter, hitting Jordy Nelson at the end of the second quarter for 21 yards (Nelson would celebrate the touchdown with Green Bay Packers teammate Clay Mathews, despite the fact that they're on opposite teams tonight) and Olsen for 10 yards in the third.
Team Irvin had a couple field goals, but Matthew Stafford tossed a couple touchdown passes for them. Stafford was also intercepted though, getting picked off by -- who else -- Houston Texans defender J.J. Watt. Stafford wound up finishing with over 300 yards passing, impressive for a Pro Bowl performance.
The second half wasn’t quite as exciting as the first, with Team Carter leading for most of it and not nearly as many scoring opportunities. Still, the lead change late in the fourth did drum up a bit of interest, and the late drive led by Andy Dalton was exciting.
