Titans QB Collins replacing Favre in Pro Bowl
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Titans quarterback Kerry Collins is getting his second Pro Bowl trip as a replacement for Brett Favre.
Philip Rivers of San Diego was the first alternate. But it will be Collins as the second alternate joining Peyton Manning and Jay Cutler as the AFC's quarterbacks in the Pro Bowl on Feb. 8 at Aloha Stadium.
Collins' previous Pro Bowl trip was in 1996. He threw for 2,676 yards with 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions with a passer rating of 80.2 this season in helping the Titans go 13-3.
He will have company. Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, safety Chris Hope, cornerback Cortland Finnegan, running back Chris Johnson and left tackle Michael Roos also are on the AFC roster. Center Kevin Mawae was voted to the team but will miss because of a torn left triceps tendon.
Vince Young was an injury replacement to the Pro Bowl in 2006.
