Watt gets 2 turnovers, dances in friendly Pro Bowl

Arizona Cardinals' Antonio Cromartie breaks up a pass intended for New Orleans Saints' Jimmy Graham during the second half of the NFL Football Pro Bowl Sunday, Jan. 25, 2015, in Glendale, Ariz.

GLENDALE, Ariz. >> Some of the best played football on Sunday, a gentler, friendlier version of the game.

The Pro Bowl never has intensity. That will come a week from now, boiling over when Seattle meets New England on the same field.

Few moved very fast, no one flattened a quarterback and there were no bone-jarring hits in Team Irvin’s 32-28 victory over Team Carter.

But everyone seemed to have a good time, and there were a few plays to remember.

J.J. Watt intercepted a pass, recovered a fumble and danced for the crowd. Jimmy Graham dunked over the crossbar twice after TD catches — this time with no penalty.

Odell Beckham Jr.’s diving grab at midfield might have been the day’s most impressive play.
