Vikings have their second Pro Bowler




According to NFL.com

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway has been picked for his first Pro Bowl.

Greenway, who had a personal-best 154 tackles this season, will replace injured Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs on the NFC roster. The Vikings made the announcement Monday.

"I'm excited to be going to the Pro Bowl, representing the Vikings and to be there with Jared (Allen)," Greenway said, according to the team's official website. "I couldn't have done it without a lot of help and support from my teammates and coaches. Even though we didn't have the kind of season we wanted to as far as winning games, we have guys who are proud and want to get back to the top. I'm honored to be thought of as a Pro Bowler and will make the most of the opportunity."

Greenway has led the Vikings in tackles for four consecutive seasons.

Allen is a starter in the Pro Bowl, which will be played Jan. 29 in Honolulu.
