The AFC got off to a fast start, as Miami's Jason Taylor picked off Garcia on the opening possession of the game. Starting at the NFC's 31-yard line, Williams took the handoff and raced 18 yards on the first play of the drive and scored from the one three plays later to give the AFC a 7-0 lead just 2:45 into the game.

Michael Lewis of the New Orleans Saints returned the ensuing kickoff 47 yards to set up a 45-yard field goal by Eagles kicker David Akers, as the NFC cut its deficit to 7-3 less than three minutes later.

Gannon led the AFC to another touchdown on its second possession, capping an eight-play, 71-yard drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Gonzalez. Gannon completed 5-of-6 passes for 52 yards on the march, including an 18-yard reception by Gonzalez that gave the AFC a first down at the NFC's 35-yard line.
