Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen is joining running back Adrian Peterson in the Pro Bowl.

Griffen will replace Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt in the Pro Bowl after racking up 10.5 sacks on the season, good for 12th overall in the NFL and fourth in the NFC.

Griffen also picked up 44 tackles, and a forced-fumble, with his FF coming in Minnesota's NFC North title-winning victory at Lambeau Field in Week 17.
