Manning vs. Brady - on the same team

When comparing Manning and Brady (as many seem to enjoy doing these days) you often come across the problem that they are playing for different teams, with different coaches, and that kind of makes it difficult to actually saying anything. However at one occasion they did play for the exact same team. At the 2005 Pro Bowl (following the 2004 season, that is), both Manning and Brady played (at two other Pro Bowls they were both selected, but only Manning actually attended) for the AFC team. So this should be the best basis for any comparison.

Now for the actual stats. Brady completed 4 of 9 passes for 48 yards and an interception. That's a rating of a whopping 21.8. At the same time Manning completed 6 of 10 for 130 yards and 3 touchdowns (yes, that's a touchdown for every 2 completions). His rating was 143.8, and he was the game MVP.
