New York Giants legend Eli Manning coached the NFC to a three-peat victory over the AFC at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games on Sunday afternoon, but he couldn’t have done it without the help of wide receiver Malik Nabers.
Not only did Nabers set the tone on Thursday with a blazing start to the Relay Race, but he also caught two touchdowns in the flag football game.
After his score, Nabers celebrated with a front flip into the foam pit.

But that wasn’t Nabers’ biggest highlight of the day.
Early in the fourth quarter, the NFC got bold and launched a bomb into double coverage. Nabers leaped over Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson and Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to high-point the ball. As the trio fell to the ground, Nabers used his legs to prevent the ball from falling incomplete.
The catch left both the AFC and NFC All-Stars stunned.

“Did he catch that?!”
It was an all-around day for Nabers, who also locked down Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase in coverage.
