HONOLULU (AP) — In a Pro Bowl that pitted Team Michael Irvin against Team Jerry Rice, it was only fitting that the two teams would combine for 10 receiving touchdowns and over 800 passing yards. Russell Wilson threw for 164 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions as Team Irvin rolled to a 49-27 victory over Team Rice. Once Wilson left, Teddy Bridgewater and Jameis Winston each threw for over 100 yards and two scores for Irvin’s squad.
Allen Robinson and Delanie Walker each hauled in touchdown receptions of more than 50 yards in the third quarter to put Irvin’s team well in control. Rams running back Todd Gurley caught a pass for a 10-yard score for Team Irvin. Travis Kelce, of the Kansas City Chiefs was the busiest receiver on Team Rice, grabbing five passes for 91 yards and two TDs.
Officials with the Iowa Dept. of Natural Resources say a man was injured Sunday afternoon during an accidental shooting in Guthrie County. 33-year old Jeremy Cooper, of Bagley, was injured at around 1-p.m., while target shooting at the Bays Branch shooting range near Panora.
Authorities say Cooper was target practicing with his .17 caliber rifle when the wind blew his paper target off the stand at the 50-yard berm. He had left his gun propped on some sandbags on the shooting bench and walked down to fix the target. While he was trying to rehang his target, the gun fell off the sandbags and fired with bullet hitting his left arm, passing through and also hitting him in his left upper torso.
Cooper was transported by ambulance to Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa roads officials are preparing for a major winter storm, but forecasters say the snow is likely to miss Monday’s caucuses. The National Weather Service says the storm isn’t expected to reach western Iowa until early Tuesday, so people participating in the presidential caucuses should be able to get home.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — For all the hype surrounding the February 1st caucuses, only a fraction of Iowa’s registered voters participate. Most Republicans expect a higher turnout in 2016 than the last two caucuses, when about 120,000 showed up. Democrats doubt they will match 2008, when nearly 240,000 came out.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump ended Sunday with a simple message to his backers. “We have to win in Iowa,” he says. Trump told an audience in Sioux City Sunday evening that he’s been encouraged to temper expectations, but just can’t bring himself to do it.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — As she’s traveled the state making her closing argument to Iowa caucus-goers, Hillary Clinton is channeling the economic indignation of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. His unapologetically liberal campaign has tightened the race ahead of Monday’s caucuses and given him a lead in the New Hampshire race that follows a week later. At event after event, Clinton cloaks her detailed policy plans in Sanders’ outraged rhetoric. Pharmaceutical pricing “burns” her up. Companies that take advantage of the tax loopholes get her “pretty riled up.”

CEDER FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Bennett Koch scored 22 points with 11 rebounds — both career highs — and Northern Iowa knocked off Southern Illinois 67-58 on Sunday. Koch went 8 of 9 from the field with three blocked shots for the Panthers (12-11, 4-6 Missouri Valley). Wes Washpun scored 16 points and Matt Bohannon added 12. The Panthers made just 3 of 19 from beyond the arc, but made up for that with 20 made free throws in 30 attempts.
Southern Illinois (18-5, 7-3 Missouri Valley) was paced by Anthony Beane with 16 points and Sean O’Brien with 14. Northern Iowa closed the first half with a 12-4 run — including a 3-pointer and pair of free throws by Bohannon — to forge a tie at 29. Midway through the second, the Salukis went 4:26 without scoring while UNI built a 10-point lead, which it nursed down the stretch.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Peter Jok had 22 of his 26 points in the second half to help third-ranked Iowa blow past Northwestern 85-71 on Sunday. Jarrod Uthoff scored 23 points for the Hawkeyes (17-4, 8-1 Big Ten), who sent Northwestern to its fifth straight loss.
Uthoff shook off his season-low nine points in Thursday’s defeat at No. 8 Maryland with 19 in the first half as Iowa went up by 16. Jok followed with three straight 3s and Iowa rolled to its seventh league win by at least 10 points. Tre Demps had a season-high 30 points for Northwestern (15-8, 3-7). Bryant McIntosh, the Wildcats’ leading scorer at 15 points per game, was held to just four.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — From raising the minimum wage to legalizing medical marijuana, some bills in the Iowa Legislature have an uphill battle that isn’t so steep in some other statehouses. Two dozen states have a system that allows residents to bypass lawmakers and place proposed initiatives on an election ballot. The system varies by state, but the idea is that citizens should have an option B when it comes to enacting potential laws. Iowa doesn’t have such a system, and that means state lawmakers might face a little less pressure to pass certain bills, much to the frustration of some residents seeking action. Despite that, there seems to be a consensus among Iowa lawmakers that the current system should remain and that approving an option B could complicate things.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio is airing 30-minute television programs in every Iowa television market this weekend. Rubio is flying from Dubuque to Sioux City and other cities this weekend as part of a busy weekend of campaigning heading into Monday’s Iowa caucuses — the first contest in the 2016 race for president. The Florida senator has held more public events in Iowa since Thanksgiving than any other Republican.
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — Police in eastern Iowa are investigating separate shootings only hours apart. The first was reported Friday night on East 6th Street in Davenport. The Quad-City Times reports that a woman was wounded in that shooting around 9:30 p.m. and taken to a local hospital. Police say a van parked the street and a nearby house were hit by the gunfire. Four people in a car chased by police from the area were taken in for questioning.
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — A newly-opened restaurant in Waterloo is now closed for at least a week to clean up from an accidental fire. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that the blaze broke out in Tokyo Bay just after 3 a.m. Saturday.
