The 2025 Pro Bowl Games had skills competitions on Thursday and two Arizona Cardinals played an important part of the NFC taking a seven-point lead into the weekend.
After tight end Trey McBride helped the NFC win the “Satisfying Catch” competition to give the conference three points, safety Budda Baker led the NFC to a comeback in dodgeball.
In the first of two rounds of dodgeball, the AFC won, picking up three points. But the NFC came back to get the other three points and finish Thursday with a 14-7 lead over the AFC.
After the second-round win, NFC coach Eli Manning named Baker the team’s MVP.

Baker makes a classic reference to the movie “Dodgeball,” noting “if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.”
Baker and McBride will participate in flag football game on Sunday to conclude the Pro Bowl games.
