Lorenzo Alexander, Travis Kelce Share Pro Bowl MVP Honors

Kelce caught three passes for 36 yards and a touchdown, while Alexander led the AFC with eight solo tackles.

Pete Sweeney of the Chiefs’ official website tweeted a photo of the two MVPs with their prizes: sleek new cars.


Kelce played a critical role in the AFC’s go-ahead touchdown in the second quarter. He caught a pass from Andy Dalton and found the end zone with 1:40 remaining in the first half. The NFL shared a replay of the score on Twitter:

He intercepted a pass from Kirk Cousins at his own 3-yard line and returned it to the 22-yard line before side-passing the ball to Aqib Talib. Cousins took the ball from Talib at the NFC 12-yard line, although the Denver Broncos cornerback recovered to secure the victory for the AFC.
