Three Bears players earn Pro Bowl honors

Dalman earned Pro Bowl honors for the first time in his five-year NFL career. He signed with the Bears in March after spending his first four seasons with the Falcons.

Byard garnered his third career Pro Bowl selection. He earned Pro Bowl honors and was named first-team All-Pro twice when he played for the Titans: in 2017 when he tied for the NFL lead with eight interceptions and had 16 pblock breakups, and in 2017 when he recorded five interceptions and 13 pblock breakups.

A co-captain with the Bears, Byard leads the NFL with six interceptions and is part of a defense that tops the league with 31 takeaways and 21 interceptions. He finished Pro Bowl Games fan balloting with the fifth-most votes among all NFL players regardless of position.

The three Pro Bowl players are the most the Bears have had since 2019 when they had four with Khalil Mack, Kyle Fuller, Eddie Jackson and Cordarrelle Patterson. This is the first time the Bears have had multiple offensive linemen chosen since 2018 when Cody Whitehair and Charles Leno Jr. were tabbed.

Players were selected to the Pro Bowl Games by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches, with each group’s vote counting as one-third.

For the first time, the Pro Bowl Games will move to Super Bowl LX Week in the San Francisco Bay Area. The event brings the league’s top players together for an AFC vs. NFC flag football showdown. The televised event will air live from San Francisco’s Moscone Center South Building on Tuesday, Feb. 3, which will be transformed into a dynamic flag football arena. Coverage of the Pro Bowl Games begins on ESPN starting at 5:30 p.m. CT with the flag game at 7 p.m. CT. The game will air on ESPN, Disney XD and ESPN Deportes.
