A Super Bowl berth by Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints along with a beat-up quarterback in Brett Favre have opened up the path for Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo, who were added to the 2010 Pro Bowl roster as replacements for the two quarterbacks.
McNabb will be making his sixth appearance after helping the Philadelphia Eagles reach the playoffs for the eighth time since 2000 with an 11-5 record—including a six-game winning streak before losing to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. He threw for 3,553 yards, 22 touchdowns, and just 10 interceptions in just 14 games after missing two games at the beginning of the season with a rib injury.
After years of criticism for his inability to perform late in the season, Romo helped the Cowboys get rid of their December demons by ending the month on a three-game winning streak—including a win in New Orleans over the previously undefeated Saints in Week 15.
This will be Romo's third Pro Bowl appearance in his five seasons with the Cowboys. 2009 was his best season after throwing for a franchise record 4,483 yards to go along with his 26 touchdowns. He also threw for a career low nine interceptions.
