NFC starts with the football in the second quarter, coming in with a few clean first downs.

Within four minutes of the 2nd quarter, NFC takes the lead adding another touchdown using Eagles Desean Jackson this time, making it 17-14, now in favor of NFC.

To start off AFC's first drive of the second quarter, Vince Young comes in leading his team to an impressive drive, getting very close to the end zone but unable to capitalize as they are forced to settle for a field goal, helping to still tie the game at 17.

Lamar Woodson of the Pittsburg Steelers intercepts the ball off of a Mcnab's throw taking it to the end zone only for the referees to rule it coming back due to 12 men on the field. A shame for the AFC defense.

Later, NFC goes for the first on fourth and 3 only to come up short, and turn the ball over to the so-far successful AFC offense, inside the two-minute warning of the first half.

Of course, once again the NFC defense picks up the pace, as the AFC would also fail at converting on 4th down, and 8 giving the ball back to Mcnab and his powerful offense with just over a minute in the half only to once again punt the ball to Joshua Cribbs for a large gain into NFC territory to bring up the first missed field goal of the night, to end the half at 17 a piece.
