Same old story for Fletcher; no nods for Titans, Rams, Bills, 'Skins

Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher leads the NFL with 163 tackles this season, so it's understandable that he was a bit frustrated to find out that he wasn't selected to the NFC's Pro Bowl squad on Tuesday.

"Don't know if I should be upset or laugh. Obviously it doesn't matter what u do on the field!" Fletcher tweeted.

For Fletcher, it was another in a career full of Pro Bowl snubs; the former St. Louis Rams and Buffalo Bills defender has been among the NFL's tackling leaders every season for the last decade, but has only a couple recent Pro Bowl appearances (and as an alternate at that) to show for it.

The Redskins were one of four NFL teams that did not have a player make the Pro Bowl this season: The St. Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans were the other three.

At 8-7, the Titans are the only team among the four that still has a chance to make the postseason.

It was the second straight year that the Bills were shut out in Pro Bowl voting, although Buffalo running back Fred Jackson probably would have made the AFC team if he had hadn't suffered a season-ending broken leg in Week 11.

Last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks were shut out in the NFC, the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC.
