NFL 2020 Pro Bowl: Baltimore Ravens tie NFL Pro Bowl record
A 10-game regular-season winning streak led by MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson meant that a record 12 Baltimore Ravens players were voted to the AFC Pro Bowl roster. The last team to have 12 players voted to the Pro Bowl were the Dallas Cowboys in 2007. Mark Andrews, Morgan Cox, Marlon Humphrey, Mark Ingram, Lamar Jackson, Matt Judon, Marcus Peters, Patrick Ricard, Ronnie Stanley, Earl Thomas, Justin Tucker, and Marshal Yanda were the Ravens players who made it to Pro Bowl 2020. AFC West leaders Kansas City Chiefs were the next best-represented side on the AFC Pro Bowl roster with six players making the cut, four of the six being starters. Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry was the surprise inclusion in the list.
