The Pro Bowl is not known for its hustle plays, with most participants playing at half speed.

But Kirk Cousins apparently didn't get the memo. After throwing a late interception in Sunday's Pro Bowl, the Washington Redskins quarterback chased down Aqib Talib - who received the ball on a lateral from Lorenzo Alexander - 60 yards down the field and stripped the ball.

Unfortunately, the AFC recovered and held on for the victory.

"It's because I want to win, man," Cousins told ESPN after the game of why he went for the fumble.

"I thought I had a chance to strip it, and maybe we'd recovered it," Cousins said. "I don't know. Something could've happened. You never know. You got to play it all the way through."
