Giants Pro Bowl: Eli Manning Wins "Coaching" Debut, Gets Gatorade Bath: WATCH

Yes, there was something of a football game on Sunday. For those who care, here is how the Giants (current and former) fared in the Pro Bowl.

The Eli Manning-led NFC All-stars defeated the Peyton Manning-led AFC team 66-57 in the revamped Pro Bowl in Las Vegas.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley, one of two players representing Big Blue, didn’t have any carries for the NFC team, but he did catch all three of his pass targets for 22 yards (7.3 average), all three of those coming from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith in the first quarter.

Interior defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence II, the other Giant voted to the Pro Bowl, was among those who did not take part in the flag football contest.

The win was the first for Eli Manning in his NFL "coaching" debut, giving him bragging rights over his brother.

Naturally, to celebrate, Manning was "christened" with the honorary Gatorade bath, which he took in stride.
