Marshall sets Pro Bowl record, leads AFC to victory

BY NICK ST. DENIS

Brandon Marshall took the NFL's All-Star game seriously. He played like an All-Star.

Marshall hauled in a Pro Bowl record four touchdowns Sunday as the AFC ousted the NFC, 59-41. The Dolphins wideout amassed 176 yards on six catches.

His highlight-reel performance was, well, highlighted by a third quarter scoring reception that saw Marshall fall on his back as two NFC defenders had a chance at the ball. The ball deflected off of Marshall's leg, and Marshall, already past the goal line, snatched it up.

"It was the most unathletic highlight I've ever had," Marshall told the NFL Network after the game.

Marshall's four touchdown scores eclipsed Jimmy Smith's record of four touchdowns, which Smith set in 2004.
