The Indianapolis Colts – winners of five of their last six games – had seven players selected to this season's Pro Bowl, the most of any team.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers each have six Pro Bowl selections, while the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have five apiece.
Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald and wide receiver Cooper Kupp were revealed early as Pro Bowl selections on Monday.

For Brady, he adds yet another record to his storied NFL career. With his 15th Pro Bowl selection, Brady broke a tie with Hall of Famers Tony Gonzalez, Peyton Manning, Bruce Matthews and Merlin Olsen to have the most in league history.
Kupp, Taylor, Diggs and Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert are among the notable first-time Pro Bowlers.
Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts and Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater were rookie players who were selected to the Pro Bowl.
"An extreme honor," Parsons said about being named to the Pro Bowl. "One of those things where it’s not an expectation; it’s something that you earn."
The 2022 Pro Bowl will be held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Feb. 6 (3 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC and Disney XD).
