New York Giants running back Tiki Barber played in his final NFL game, in Saturday's NFL Pro Bowl. Barber announced earlier this season, his retirement from professional football after a ten-year career, all with the Giants. Barber is seen here resting between offensive series under a Big Fog misting fan late in the fourth quarter.
In the Pro Bowl, Barber scored the first NFC touchdown (and the game's first), on a one-yard plunge. He finished the day with four yards rushing on seven attempts, and one catch for eight yards. Barber also had one pass attempt that was intercepted by Baltimore Ravens free safety Ed Reed, on a halfback option throw intended for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver.
During the two-minute warning of the second half, the NFL showed a highlight reel of Barber on the Aloha Stadium JumboTron. The fans gave Tiki a standing ovation after the video, and he responded with a wave back from the huddle. The game also provided Tiki one last opportunity to play with (instead of against) twin brother Ronde, a cornerback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
