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.
Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press
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.”
