The trivia segment preceded the ‘Passing the Test’ event. All six quarterbacks were paired with a pro bowler from their same conference. For every question their partner answered correctly, the QB had 10 additional seconds to put points on the board.
Warner was paired with Minnesota’s Sam Darnold. Thanks to Warner’s football expertise, the Vikings’ star had 50 extra seconds on the clock.
And he took advantage.
Six straight!
Sam Darnold wasn’t missing many targets 🎯

Darnold posted 39 points, the second-best mark in the event, behind fellow NFC QB Jared Goff.
Partly thanks to the performance of Warner, the NFC built a considerable lead in the first day of the Pro Bowl games. Through the first six events, the conference doubled the score of the AFC, 14-7.
However, the AFC can still make a comeback on the second-half of the two-day event. The pro bowlers will enjoy two days off in Central Florida before returning on Sunday for more competitions and the Flag Football game.
The second day of events will start at 1:00 p.m. (MDT) on Sunday, February 2.
