Cheer on your Texans who have made it to the Pro-Bowl
You now have four reasons to watch the NFL Pro-Bowl on January 31st and their names are Andre Johnson, DeMeco Ryans, Brian Cushing and Mario Williams.

Quarterback Matt Schaub is a second alternate and might see some playing time. This depends on whether or not any of the quarterbacks selected make it to the Super Bowl. If any of the four chosen quarterbacks go to the Super Bowl, chances are they won't play in the Pro-Bowl.

"Paging Matt Schaub. Matt Schaub, please report to Land Shark Stadium in Miami."

What does it take to make it to the Pro Bowl? Ask Andre Johnson. He's the NFL's leader in receiving yards with a whopping 1,504. Nine of his 95 receptions have been touchdowns. This is Johnson's fourth Pro Bowl selection. Dude's got some digits.

Brian Cushing is the only rookie selected to represent the AFC. DeMeco Ryans and Mario Williams are two time Pro Bowl selectees.

For the first since 1980 The Pro Bowl will be held somewhere other than Honolulu. It will be in Miami at Land Shark Stadium. The Pro Bowl airs Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010 at 8:30 pm on ESPN.
