QB Jackson leads Ravens' NFL-high 12 Pro Bowl picks

[December 18, 2019]  Quarterback Lamar Jackson highlights the list of 12 Baltimore Ravens selected for the Pro Bowl, which won't include Tom Brady for the first time since 2008.

The NFL on Tuesday night revealed the rosters and the starters for the Jan. 26 all-star game in Orlando, Fla., with the Ravens tying the 1973 Miami Dolphins for most Pro Bowl players in the initial selection. When subs are included, the 2007 Dallas Cowboys hold the record with 13 Pro Bowl players.

The New Orleans Saints lead this year's NFC teams with seven selections.

Jackson has passed for 2,889 yards and 33 touchdowns while rushing for 1,103 yards and seven scores and leading the Ravens to an NFL-best 12-2 record.

Six Ravens were chosen as AFC starters, including offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley and guard Marshal Yanda.

The New England Patriots have three Pro Bowl selections, but not the 42-year-old Brady, whose 10-year streak came to an end. The AFC quarterbacks are Jackson, the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and the Houston Texans' Deshaun Watson.

The Chiefs placed six players on the AFC roster for the second consecutive season.

The Saints have five starters, including defensive end Cameron Jordan, cornerback Marshon Lattimore and receiver Michael Thomas. Quarterback Drew Brees, who missed five games early in the season because of a thumb injury, came back strong to make his 13th Pro Bowl in 19 seasons. He set the NFL career record for touchdown passes Monday night.

NFL.com reported that the Bosa brothers -- the Los Angeles Chargers' Joey and San Francisco 49ers rookie Nick -- were the top two vote-getters at defensive end.
