Patriots Tom Brady ties NFL record with 14th Pro Bowl selection

New England Patriots star Tom Brady tied a NFL record with his 14th Pro Bowl selection on Tuesday, while new breakout stars like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley and undrafted Denver Broncos rookie running back  Phillip Lindsay earned their first.

Brady joined Peyton Manning, Tony Gonzalez, Bruce Matthews and Merlin Olsen as the only five players with 14 Pro Bowl selections, according to ESPN Stats and Information. But the Patriots only had two players selected to the Jan. 27 game in Orlando, with cornerback Stephon Gilmore joining Brady.

The surging Los Angeles Chargers, meanwhile, led all teams with seven Pro Bowl selections, continuing their hot streak after last Thursday night's win over the division rival Chiefs.

QB Philip Rivers, C Mike Pouncey, RB Melvin Gordon, WR Keenan Allen, DE Melvin Ingram and safeties Derwin James and Adrian Phillips were selected; it's the most the Chargers have had since 10 players made the trip to Hawaii in 2008.

The Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers had six selections apiece. The New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys each had five -- including Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who earned his 12th Pro Bowl selection, moving him into a tie for ninth place in NFL history.
