Jalen Hurts, 7 other Eagles headline Pro Bowl Games rosters

The Philadelphia Eagles, who are an NFL-best 13-1, had a league-high eight players selected for the Pro Bowl Games in Las Vegas, the replacement for the Pro Bowl contest. The NFL revealed the complete rosters on Wednesday, with Philadelphia having six players designated as starters. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, wide receiver A.J. Brown, offensive linemen Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson and cornerback Darius Slay were chosen as starters. Philadelphia outside linebacker Haason Reddick and running back Miles Sanders were picked as reserves. The Dallas Cowboys (10-4) and Kansas City Chiefs (11-3) tied for the next-most selections with seven apiece, followed by the Baltimore Ravens (9-5) and San Francisco 49ers (10-4) with six picks each and the Minnesota Vikings (11-3) with five. Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes is the AFC's starting quarterback. It is his fifth straight Pro Bowl selection after throwing for 4,496 yards and 35 touchdowns through 14 games, while Hurts (3,472 yards, 22 touchdowns) is the starter for the NFC in his first-ever appearance. Last year's Super Bowl participants, the defending champion Los Angeles Rams and the runner-up Cincinnati Bengals, combined for just four choices, with defensive lineman Aaron Donald being the Rams' only selection. It is the ninth straight Pro Bowl nod for Donald, who has been limited to 11 appearances and just five sacks for the 4-10 Rams. In September, the NFL scrapped its traditional Pro Bowl all-star football game in favor of several different, smaller events, headlined by a flag football game on Feb. 5. Emphasizing flag football is a deliberate step by the NFL. "We've received invaluable feedback from players, teams and fans about re-imagining the Pro Bowl, and as a result, we're thrilled to use The Pro Bowl Games as a platform to spotlight Flag football as an integral part of the sport's future while also introducing fun, new forms of competition and entertainment that will bring our players, their families and fans closer than ever before," NFL executive vice president Peter O'Reilly said in September. "Building on the success of the 2022 Pro Bowl and 2022 Draft, as well as our strong partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) and Las Vegas Raiders, we look forward to bringing The 2023 Pro Bowl Games to the capital of world-class sports and entertainment." The Pro Bowl has gone through several changes designed to spark increased interest among viewers and participants. It was introduced in 1951 in Los Angeles, but it became rooted in NFL tradition as a destination game when it was anchored in Hawaii from 1980-2009.
