The Miami Dolphins may not have any players on the 2020 Pro Bowl roster as things currently stand, but they do have some company in all-time Pro Bowl history. The Baltimore Ravens, who are poised to claim the top seed in the AFC this weekend, have 12 Pro Bowl representatives set to appear in the 2020 Pro Bowl.
That figure ties the most ever for a team in the AFC, according to Elias Sports.
The @Ravens had 12 players selected to the Pro Bowl.
Per @EliasSports, that’s tied with the 1973 Dolphins for the 2nd-most Pro Bowl selections from a single team. Only the 2007 Cowboys had more (13). pic.twitter.com/Kk7FPxPpH6

The 1973 Dolphins are the second leg of Miami’s back to back Super Bowl championships during the early days of the Don Shula era in South Florida — it serves as an impressive reminder of just how potent this team used to really be back at their peak as an organization.

Who knows if the Baltimore Ravens will soar to the same heights we saw the Dolphins take to all those years ago, but for now, Miami can happily welcome another AFC team into the rare club of owning a dozen Pro Bowlers in a single season. And the best part about it? It doesn’t concede any added population to Perfectville — the population there is still 1.
