Manning, the regular-season MVP after breaking Dan Marino's NFL record with 49 touchdown passes, completed only six passes for 130 yards. But three were spectacular scoring tosses, and the quarterback was named the player of the game in his fifth trip to the Pro Bowl.

"I'm not going to say I wasn't holding my breath over there once Vick started to roll around, but our defense did a great job of stopping him," Manning said. "It was good we got the game this year after we let the lead slip away last year."

The sting of another playoff loss has faded a bit for Manning, but it's never far from his mind as motivation. He was at ease in the face of the NFC's best pass rushers, and his precision staked the AFC to a lead it never lost.

"You could win a lot of playoff games with all the weapons we had out here," Manning said. "It's almost too tough to pick where to throw sometimes." Click to Buy Falcons tickets.

Pittsburgh's Hines Ward caught a touchdown pass and returned an onside kick for a score, and three Chargers stars led the clinching TD drive in the fourth quarter of the AFC's seventh victory in nine meetings.

"It's a great consolation prize for not being able to play in the Super Bowl," Ward said of the victory and the $35,000 winners' share for the AFC.

This game didn't quite have the offensive fireworks of the 107-point marathon of last year, won in a thrilling NFC comeback, but Manning and Vick thrilled the 26th consecutive sellout crowd at Aloha Stadium with exhibitions of their strengths: Manning's expert throws and Vick's jaw-dropping elusiveness and creativity.

Manning has thrown 11 TD passes in the Pro Bowl, four more than any quarterback in NFL history. He hit Colts teammate Marvin Harrison, Ward and San Diego's Antonio Gates in the first 25 minutes while the AFC built a 28-10 halftime lead.

Vick was 14-for-24 for 205 yards and a score, nimbly avoiding several sacks along the way.
