AFC Stars Finally Have NFC on the Run, 41-13 : Pro Bowl: Faulk rushes for 180 yards, breaking Simpson’s record.

Marshall Faulk, the only rookie in the game, ran for 180 yards to shatter O.J. Simpson’s 22-year-old Pro Bowl record Sunday when the AFC overpowered the NFC, 41-13.

In the concluding game of the NFL season, the Indianapolis Colt star carried 13 times and scored on a 49-yard run off a fake punt to top Simpson’s record of 112 yards in the 1973 Pro Bowl.

Seattle’s Chris Warren also went over the previous rushing mark with 14 carries for 127 yards for the AFC, which rolled up 400 yards on the ground against the NFC’s defense.

Tight end Eric Green of Pittsburgh had two touchdown receptions as the AFC, whose champions have lost 11 consecutive Super Bowls, won the Pro Bowl for the third time in five years.

The AFC defense gave up only 209 yards to the NFC, only 41 yards rushing.

Green caught a 22-yard scoring pass from Denver’s John Elway in the second quarter, helping the AFC rally from a 10-0 deficit. He then had a 16-yard scoring reception from the Raiders’ Jeff Hostetler in the final quarter, when the AFC broke the game open with three touchdowns.

Steve Young of San Francisco, the most valuable player of the 49ers’ 49-26 Super Bowl victory over San Diego a week earlier, helped stake the NFC to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but a third-quarter field goal by Minnesota’s Fuad Reveiz was the only other NFC scoring.

Young completed eight of 15 passes for 129 yards and the one score.

Faulk made several spectacular runs, including a 41-yarder early in the fourth quarter. On his 49-yard touchdown, he stripped tacklers in the secondary in breaking free for his team’s final touchdown.

Cleveland’s Leroy Hoard put the AFC in front to stay when he threaded his way through the defense on a four-yard touchdown run for a 17-10 lead 2:07 before halftime.

Hostetler, a replacement for the injured Dan Marino, drove the AFC to the score, with a 10-yard scramble and a 35-yard completion to Miami’s Irving Fryar to the NFC 11-yard line.
