Allen Robinson Left Off NFC Pro Bowl Team Again
For the second straight year, Allen Robinson's big numbers produced only a Pro Bowl snub.
Outside linebacker Khalil Mack and kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson were the only Bears voted to the Pro Bowl. There will be no game this year, but teams were chosen.
Robinson will finish this year with more yards than last year and possibly more receptions and touchdowns but still didn't make the team.
Robinson last year had 98 receptions for 1,147 yards and seven touchdowns. This season Robinson has 90 receptions for 1,100 yards and six touchdowns with two games still to play.
Robinson has more receptions than both D.K. Metcalf and Justin Jefferson, who made the NFC team as wide receivers. He has 17 more catches than Jefferson and 16 more than Metcalf, but is behind both in yardage and touchdowns.
Robinson has not dropped a pass this season and has ranked in the top five in each of the last three seasons in contested catches, according to Pro Football Focus.
Mack was named a Pro Bowl starter. It's his Pro Bowl berth is his sixth straight, the third for the NFC team. He has eight sacks, is tied for the team lead with three forced fumbles and has nine tackles for loss. He also has an interception, two fumble recoveries and three passes deflected.
It's the second time in two years Patterson made the team as the kick returner, and fourth time in his career. Patterson leads the NFL with a 29.44-yard average on kick returns, just ahead of Buffalo's Andre Roberts, who has a 29.42-yard average.
He also had a 104-yard kick return for a touchdown against Minnesota, the eighth of his career, which tied an NFL record.
