Cook and McGovern were both voted as first alternates back in Week 18. Starting left tackle Dion Dawkins and quarterback Josh Allen were the lone two Bills to earn spots on the AFC's initial Pro Bowl roster.

Smith-Njigba tied the Seahawks franchise record with 100 receptions this season and had 1,130 receiving yards and six touchdown catches. This is his first Pro Bowl selection.
