Spurs finish the first quarter here in Houston up 26-24. A little surprised the Spurs have just 4 assists on 12 FGs. But they've scored 14 points in the paint and 8 points in second-chance baskets. LaMarcus Aldridge leads the Spurs with 9 points.

Only DeMarco Murray was in Pro Bowl fan voting top five a week before balloting closed one week ago. That means the Titans got a lot of recognition from coaches and players, whose votes also count one-third. The five players named to the AFC team -- Jurrell Casey, Taylor Lewan, Murray, Brian Orakpo and Delanie Walker -- are the most for the Titans since 2008, when six were voted in and eight eventually made the roster. The Titans could wind up with eight again, if alternates Marcus Mariota, Jack Conklin and Jalston Fowler get in.

Saints get shut out of the Pro Bowl for the second year in a row (not counting alternates). Drew Brees and DE Cameron Jordan deserved to go based on performance -- but that's one of the prices of going 6-8.

The San Francisco 49ers had no players selected to the Pro Bowl, the first time that's happened since 2005. It's little surprise given the team's 1-13 record and lack of obvious choices. Even LT Joe Staley hasn't performed at his usual level and he's been slowed by a hamstring injury over the past two weeks when player voting occurred.

Jeff Legwold ESPN Senior Writer
The Broncos have three Pro Bowl selections in linebacker Von Miller, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. and cornerback Aqib Talib. Safeties Darien Stewart and T.J. Ward also likely deserved to get spots but did not -- Stewart is a first alternate. Ward could well be named an All Pro and not have been named to the Pro Bowl. No Broncos players on offense were selected even with two 1,000-yard receivers in Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. But there is likely no more crowded position for the Pro Bowl than wide receiver given 11 players have already topped 1,000 yards this season.
Todd Archer ESPN Staff Writer
For the first time in Cowboys history two rookies have been named to the Pro Bowl with quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott being selected. Three members of the offensive line that help drive the success of Prescott and Elliott – Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, Zack Martin – were also named. Somehow linebacker Sean Lee was not picked. The hope of all five and any alternates is they don't play in the Pro Bowl with a trip to Super Bowl LI coming the following week instead.
