ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — London Fletcher might no longer be the NFL’s Susan Lucci, having gone to the Pro Bowl as an alternate the past two years.
Still, there was plenty of head-shaking in the Washington Redskins’ locker room Wednesday with the news the league’s leading tackler this year, and over his 13 seasons as a starter, was bypassed yet again by Pro Bowl voters.
Unlike 2008 when Fletcher blasted his omission from the Pro Bowl, he was relatively calm about being the first alternate behind San Francisco’s Patrick Willis and Chicago’s Brian Urlacher.
