In that unforgettable season in which the New England Patriots came close at home twice, they came close in Pro Bowl voting.
The NFL officially announced the 2024 rosters for Pro Bowl Games on Wednesday night, and for the first time since 2000, no Patriots were named to the All-Star team. The Pats are the AFC team without a representative. It’s 4-12, his worst season since going 5-11 in coach Bill Belichick’s rookie season 24 years ago.
Three others, all from the NFC, don’t have Pro Bowlers: the Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers.
Some Patriots ideas are taken into consideration. Rookie punter Bryce Baringer is in the lead after fan voting, but was defeated by AJCole after player and coach feedback was taken into account. He leads the NFL in punts downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line with 36.
Christian Barmore’s defense has been the same all season, adding a three-sack and forced fumble functionality on Christmas Eve that could have landed him a Pro Bowl berth. Instead, the AFC’s inside linemen are Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs, Quinnen. Williams of the New York Jets and Justin Madubuike of the Baltimore Ravens 13-3.
That’s the case when they won the Super Bowl with double-digit Pro Bowl players, the Pats had only one rep last season: running back Matthew Judon. This season, they’ve been eliminated twice at Gillette Stadium, 34-0 on the week. five against the New Orleans Saints and 6-0 against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13.
The 2024 Pro Bowl Games will return to Orlando this year for a multi-day competition between the AFC and NFC, showcasing Pro Bowl skills and culminating with a flag football game on Sunday, Feb. 4.
