The NFL announced the Pro Bowl rosters on Friday night and with the Philadelphia Eagles on the cusp of an NFC East title, two members of the Eagles are going to be a part of the NFL’s all-star contest. 

Running back LeSean McCoy and tackle Jason Peters were named to the Pro Bowl set to take place on Jan. 26.

McCoy, who will likely clinch the NFL’s rushing title in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, was named to his second Pro Bowl. Peters is making his sixth trip to Hawaii.

Additionally, among the Pro Bowl snubs were wide receiver DeSean Jackson, quarterback Nick Foles and guard Evan Mathis. Foles is a first alternative and Jackson and Mathis are second alternatives.
