Matthew Slater has perfect response to Patriots QB Tom Brady's Pro Bowl snub

The 2020 NFL Pro Bowl rosters were announced Tuesday, and for the first time since 2008, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was not selected.

In fact, this was the first season since 2003 in which zero offensive Patriots players were named to the Pro Bowl. Brady has 14 career Pro Bowl selections, tying him with Peyton Manning, Bruce Matthews, Tony Gonzalez and Merlin Olsen for the most in league history.

Brady, in all fairness, didn't deserve to make the Pro Bowl this season. Sure, the Patriots have the second-best record in the AFC at 11-3, but he doesn't rank in the top five in passing yards, passing touchdowns, completion percentage, QB rating and other relevant pass stats.
