HONOLULU - Terrell Owens and Adrian Peterson each accounted for two touchdowns as the NFC outscored the AFC 42-30 at the Pro Bowl in Honolulu.

Owens grabbed a pair of touchdown passes, including a six-yard throw from Jeff Garcia that put the NFC ahead. Peterson earned game MVP honors after becoming the first player to run for more than 100 yards in a Pro Bowl since Marshall Faulk and Chris Warren in 1995.

Peterson scored twice as the NFC rallied from a 24-7 deficit.

The two teams combined for 48 points in the first half, tying a Pro Bowl record. The only punt of the half turned into a fake and an 11-yard completion from Andy Lee to Tony Richardson.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh (hoosh-mand-ZAH'-dah) caught touchdown passes from Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger (RAWTH'-lis-bur-gur) for the AFC.
