Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr made the most of his Pro Bowl appearance.

The ex-Fresno State star hit Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker late in the fourth quarter for the go-ahead touchdown as the AFC rallied for a 24-23 victory over the NFC in Orlando, Fla. on Sunday afternoon

Carr finished the game 11 of 15 for 115 yards and a touchdown against an interception.

“That’s as real as it gets in football,” Carr said. “You always want to win, especially with money on the line.”

Carr didn’t enter the game until the third quarter. Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers started for the AFC, followed by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith.

Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown was appreciative towards Carr.

Carr and his teammates get $64,000 each after he led the AFC to three scoring drives.

Carr later embraced with ex-Fresno State teammate Davante Adams of the Green Bay Packers.
