Ravens and Lions Dominate Pro Bowl Game Nominations
The Baltimore Ravens placed nine players on the 2025 Pro Bowl Games rosters, announced Thursday by the NFL.
The Detroit Lions also saw seven players picked, one of six teams with at least five players chosen for the event, which culminates Feb. 2 with a flag football game between the AFC and NFC in Orlando.
The Minnesota Vikings (six), Philadelphia Eagles (six), Chiefs (five) and Dallas Cowboys (five) joined the Ravens and Lions atop the list, although one player is notably absent from Kansas City\'s entries -- quarterback Patrick Mahomes, breaking a string of six consecutive selections for the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player and three-time Super Bowl MVP.

Instead, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills got the nod as the AFC starter, with Jared Goff of the Lions named the starter for the NFC. Of course, both players will hope to miss the Pro Bowl Games in lieu of a run toward the Super Bowl.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders and tight end Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders, both standout rookies, were among the Pro Bpwl Games selections.
