Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is now the latest addition to the AFC’s Pro Bowl roster.<\/p>\n
Burrow was a late add to the Pro Bowl on Sunday. This will mark the 29-year-old’s third Pro Bowl appearance.<\/p>\n
Burrow will be reunited on the AFC\u2019s Pro Bowl roster with Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco. This is Flacco\u2019s first Pro Bowl of his career. In the AFC North, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will join Burrow and his former teammate, Flacco, on the Pro Bowl roster.<\/p>\n Burrow, Flacco, and Sanders replaced Patriots quarterback Drake Maye \u2014 who is playing in Super Bowl LX next weekend instead \u2014 Bills quarterback Josh Allen, and Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. Pro Bowl rosters are determined by a combination of fan voting, player voting and coach voting.<\/p>\n Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will also join Burrow and Flacco on the roster. Chase had 125 catches for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns last season, while Higgins had 59 catches for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns despite playing with three different quarterbacks this season.<\/p>\n Despite having a team full of offensive Pro Bowlers, the Bengals struggled last fall season. After suffering a turf toe injury in Week 2\u2019s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Burrow was sidelined for the next nine weeks. After Jake Browning went 0-4 in his starts and had a 6-8 touchdown-to-interception ratio, the Bengals looked to sub one Pro Bowl quarterback for another. The Bengals acquired Flacco from the Browns. In his time with the Bengals, Flacco threw for 1,664 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions.<\/p>\n By the time Burrow was healthy and returned, the Bengals were just 3-8. In his eight total games, Burrow threw for 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions. The Bengals finished just 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the third consecutive year after making the AFC Championship in 2022 and the Super Bowl the season before that.<\/p>\n Burrow has suffered significant injuries in four of his six NFL seasons, including missing the final seven games of both the 2023 season due to a torn ligament and his rookie campaign with a season-ending knee injury. While he’s undoubtedly a top-tier quarterback when healthy, staying on the field has been a struggle so far.<\/p>\n The Pro Bowl is on February 3 at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Joe Burrow is headed to the Pro Bowl after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42768,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[111,202,1160,2077,73,1334,333,1993,2772,1354,857,64,2771],"class_list":["post-42767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals","tag-bengals","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-jacksonville-jaguars","tag-jake-browning","tag-joe-burrow","tag-joe-flacco","tag-josh-allen","tag-justin-herbert","tag-patriots-quarterback","tag-pro-bowl","tag-shedeur-sanders","tag-tee-higgins","tag-the-afc"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"Image\"](\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/HAGuBqsWMAAgiyJ?format=jpg&name=900x900\")
