Giants' Brown and Rodgers-Cromartie going to Pro Bowl (The Associated Press)

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- New York Giants placekicker Josh Brown and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie are going to the Pro Bowl.

The Giants announced the honors on Tuesday, saying Brown and Rodgers-Cromartie were replacing a pair of injured New England Patriots.

Brown will replace Stephen Gostkowski and Rodgers-Cromartie takes over for Malcolm Butler. They will join teammates Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. in Sunday's game in Honolulu.

Rodgers-Cromartie, who had touchdown returns on a fumble recovery and an interception this season, is the first Giants cornerback to play in the Pro Bowl since Mark Haynes in 1984.
