The Jacksonville Jaguars had two players on the list of 88 who earned 2024 Pro Bowl honors.
On Wednesday, the NFL revealed the rosters for the Pro Bowl Games, which featured Jaguars outside linebacker Josh Allen and long snapper Ross Matiscik.

Allen is no surprise with the outside linebacker just 0.5 sacks off the league lead. This season he’s broken the Jaguars’ single-season record for sacks with 16.5 through 16 games and has added an interception and two forced fumbles to boot.
Masticik is a little more surprising after he didn’t earn a spot in the top 10 at his position in the fan voting portion of the calculation. Evidently, the Jaguars’ fourth-year player has earned the respect of his peers and NFL coaches, who account for the other two-thirds of the vote.
Last season, no Jaguars earned a spot in the initial Pro Bowl announcement. Injuries and the Super Bowl created space for quarterback Trevor Lawrence and return specialist Jamal Agnew to receive the honors.
Unlike previous years, there will be no actual Pro Bowl game. Instead, players will play various games that include dodgeball, tug of war, and a seven-on-seven flag football game.
