Rivers Gets Pro Bowl Nod Over Tim Tebow
(CBS) -- Despite leading the NFL in interceptions with 19, Philip Rivers has been selected to his fourth Pro Bowl, joining starter Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger as the other QB's for the AFC.
"It's always an honor any time you're selected," Rivers told Christopher Smith of Chargers.com. "Obviously the season's been disappointing from a team standpoint, which is most important. I think it's always an honor and humbling any time your fellow competitors vote you in. The handful of times I've been selected, it's always an honor."
Antonio Gates and Eric Weddle were also selected from the Chargers.
