Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow earned his third career Pro Bowl selection after being added Sunday to the AFC roster for the Pro Bowl Games this week.
Burrow, 29, also was honored in 2022 and 2024. This season, he joins Bengals teammates in wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins as well as quarterback Joe Flacco, who was added Friday for the 41-year-old’s first Pro Bowl selection in an 18-year career.
The fourth edition of the Pro Bowl Games — which include week-long skills competitions and a flag football game — will be played in San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl LX. Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Steve Young will serve as coaches for the flag football game on Tuesday.
Burrow played in only eight games this past season, completing 66.8% of his passes for 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Twice the NFL Comeback Player of the Year (2021, 2024), Burrow returned to action in Week 13 after missing the previous nine contests due to a toe injury.
He led the league in the final six weeks of the regular season in completions (152), according to the team. Burrow also tied for second in TD passes (15), ranked third in passing yards (1,620), fifth in completion percentage (68.2) and fifth in passer rating (102.2) over the final six weeks.
Cincinnati selected Burrow with the first overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft out of LSU. For his career, he has thrown for 20,810 yards, 157 TDs and 51 interceptions in 77 regular-season games (all starts) for a record of 43-33-1. His 68.5% completion percentage is the NFL’s all-time best for a career.
