Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker has one notable stat missing in his career. He has not yet had an interception in the regular season.
He had one on Sunday.
Playing in the Pro Bowl for the second time, the first time for his play at safety, he made the first big defensive play of the game.
Led by quarterback Lamar Jackson, the AFC drove down the field on their first possession and were in the red zone. Jackson attempted a pass on 3rd-and-10 from the 10-yard line to Cleveland Browns receiver Jarvis Landry and Baker picked it off.
He caught it five yards deep in the end zone and returned it 15 yards to the 10-yard line.
The NFC scored a touchdown on the ensuing possession, giving them a 7-0 lead.
