Trojans in the NFL: Clay Matthews, Tyron Smith in Pro Bowl
Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews and Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Tyron Smith helped Team Irvin defeat Team Carter, 32-28, in the Pro Bowl on Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Matthews, making his fifth Pro Bowl appearance, had two tackles.
More notable was Matthews’ celebration with Packers teammate – and Pro Bowl opponent – Jordy Nelson, after Nelson caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees.
Smith, selected to his second consecutive Pro Bowl, started for Team Irvin, which rushed for 148 yards and passed for 463.
