ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Four days after calling his season a failure because it won’t end with a parade, Denver receiver Emmanuel Sanders was selected to play in his first Pro Bowl.

Sanders replaces injured Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones.

This gives the Broncos an NFL-best 10 Pro Bowlers, including four free agent acquisitions — safety T.J. Ward, defensive end DeMarcus Ware and cornerback Aqib Talib are the others.

That ties an NFL record set by the 1996 Panthers, who had running back Michael Bates, cornerback Eric Davis, linebacker Kevin Greene and tight end Wesley Walls make the Pro Bowl team in their first year with in Carolina.

Sanders caught 101 passes for 1,404 yards with nine touchdowns — all career bests — in his first season in Denver.
