Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway and Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher are both headed to the Pro Bowl.
Greenway, who had a personal-best 154 tackles this season, will replace injured Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs on the NFC roster. It is his first Pro Bowl selection. 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.
Fletcher led the NFL in tackles, forced three fumbles and had two interceptions and 1.5 sacks. He replaces injured Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher on the NFC roster.
Fletcher once referred to himself as "the Susan Lucci of the NFL" because he had yet to be rewarded with a trip to the Pro Bowl. In 2010, Fletcher made it for the first time when Jonathan Vilma of the New Orleans Saints couldn't play because the game was being held before the Super Bowl.
Last season, Fletcher got in again at the last minute -- after Urlacher withdrew because of an injury. This season, Urlacher hurt his left knee during Chicago's last game.
