Maxx Crosby of the Raiders took home the defensive MVP title from the game. Herbert helped the AFC in their 41-35 victory. They conducted the game in Las Vegas and a whooping 56,000 audience showed up for the contest.

Despite this, they nominated rosters for each conference, facilitating the athletes for their achievements of the year. Even though it was called off, they made an E-sports version of the contest. The NFC came out on top in the Madden Pro Bowl. They beat the AFC by a margin of 32-12. While this didn’t count in the actual battle of the conferences, it will give the NFC some consolation for faring poorly at this contest over the years.
As the Super Bowl will be held next week, the NFC representatives, Eagles will take on AFC champions, The Chiefs. This battle will be the ultimate test of which conference gets the bragging rights. This is the ultimate glory for football.
