Fan voting -- which accounts for a third of the Pro Bowl vote -- ended this week, and the Cardinals had a pair of players that ended up with the most votes at their position in the NFC. Both Chandler Jones at outside linebacker and Budda Baker on special teams got more votes than anyone else in the conference, which usually is a pretty good harbinger of Pro Bowl status.
We will see -- the coaches get another third of the vote and the players the final third, so there is a still a chance for it to go drastically different, especially on special teams when only one player per conference is chosen. In all, the Cardinals had five players to finish in the top 10 at their position in the fans' Pro Bowl vote. The Cards' complete list:
-- OLB Chandler Jones (fourth in voting in the NFL, first in the NFC) -- ST Budda Baker (1,1) -- WR Larry Fitzgerald (5,3) -- CB Patrick Peterson (7,4) -- FS Tyrann Mathieu (7,4)
The Pro Bowl rosters will be announced Tuesday at 6 p.m. Arizona time. The game will be played Jan. 28.
