First-place Lions have no leaders on Pro Bowl ballot

Talk about disrespect.

The Detroit Lions have won seven of their last eight games to surge to first place in the NFC North, but they don't have a player ranked in the top five at their position in fan balloting for the Pro Bowl.

Dallas Cowboys rookies Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott are the top two vote-getters in the league, and five quarterbacks rank among the top 10 players overall.

But while the Lions are tied for the third-best record in the NFC, behind the Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks, the only Lion represented in the positional top five are of the "ex" variety: Ndamukong Suh at defensive tackle (first) and Cliff Avril at defensive end (third).
