Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Kansas City Chiefs tight end and University of Cincinnati product Travis Kelce on Sunday night to help the AFC defeat the NFC 20-13 in the Pro Bowl.

Dalton finished 10 of 12 for 100 yards with a touchdown and an interception, while Bengals teammate Geno Atkins had 1.5 sacks as part of his three tackles.

Bengals tackle Andrew Whitworth and defensive end Carlos Dunlap also helped contribute to the victory in the first Pro Bowl played in Orlando, Fla.

Wide receiver A.J. Green also was voted to the Pro Bowl for the fifth consecutive year but did not play due to the season-ending hamstring injury he suffered in November.

Dalton’s touchdown pass to Kelce broke a 7-7 tie, and the AFC led the rest of the way.
