Eight New England Patriots players have been named to the AFC's Pro Bowl team.
Quarterback Tom Brady and receiver Randy Moss, who have hooked up for 19 touchdowns this season, were the team's top vote getters.
Brady has thrown for 4,235 yards, 45 touchdowns and six interceptions in leading the Patriots to a 14-0 start.
Three of the linemen who protect Brady -- Matt Light, Dan Koppen and Logan Mankins -- also were named to the AFC's roster for the game, which will be played in Honolulu, Hawaii, on February 10.
On defense, nose tackle Vice Wilfork, linebacker Mike Vrabel and cornerback Asante Samuel were named to the roster.
The last time eight Patriots were selected for the Pro Bowl was 1985.
