The Houston Texans have the best record in the AFC, but the Pro Bowl votes don't show it.
The NFL released the first voting results on Monday, with only one Texas player finishing in the top five. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry are at the top of the list. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley took third place, while Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rounded out the top five.

CJ Stroud, Nico Collins, Danielle Hunter, Will Anderson Jr. and several others were in the running, but none came close to finishing in the top five in their respective positions. It's Week 14, which means it's time for a number of Houston names to head to Orlando to be celebrated among the league's best players at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.
First, let's take a look at where each Houston player stands as December begins. Remember, fans: You can vote to send the Texans to the Pro Bowl games through Monday, December 23rd on various platforms, including the Texans' website and NFL.com, so cast your vote away!
