With the Pittsburgh Steelers winning the AFC Championship tonight, this opened up some positions on the Pro Bowl roster.
These positions are outside linebacker and safety.
With the Steelers advancing to the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl being the week before the big game, players can no longer do both (which is one of the problems with moving the Pro Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl when it used to be the week after the Super Bowl). So, Pittsburgh players have to vacate their slots in Hawaii.
Because of this, two more Chiefs players are going to be featured next week in the Pro Bowl. These players are Tamba Hali and Eric Berry.
Hali will be filling in for James Harrison. The other Pro Bowl outside linebackers are Cameron Wake and Terrell Suggs.
Eric Berry, a rookie, will be filling in for Troy Polamalu.
With these additions, the number of Chiefs players going to the Pro Bowl is now six.
