-
The Detroit Lions had seven players picked to the NFL Pro Bowl, more than any other team in the NFC
-
That’s thanks to a high-powered offense driven by pro bowl picks like Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Amon-Ra St. Brown

It’s possible none of these players make it to the game if the Lions make it through the playoffs and qualify for the Super Bowl

Snubs
The league leader in interceptions was among the Pro Bowl snubs that might cause some people to take notice. After catching Brock Purdy during the Lions’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Kerby Joseph now has more than any other player.
He has two more than Xavier McKinney, the player who finished second and was chosen for the Pro Bowl.
In addition to receiving home-field advantage until the Super Bowl and a first-round playoff bye, the victor takes the NFC North. The loser moves up to the fifth seed and has to travel for the wild-card round.
