Michael Vick was topped by Tom Brady in the final tally of fan votes. The Patriots' quarterback overtook Michael Vick, who led voting during the previous two weeks, by a 354,642-vote margin as the final results came in Monday. The NFL announced a record 98.59 million votes cast this year as fans reportedly took to NFL.com, Facebook and their wireless phones to have their say in the All-Star process.
Brady earned his sixth Pro Bowl selection after leading New England to a 12-2 record with two games remaining on the schedule.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has completed 66.6 percent of his passes for 3,561 yards and 31 touchdowns this season. He has thrown just four interceptions and amassed a league-best 109.9 passer rating.
Vick has become one of the more remarkable stories in the NFL this season. He managed to take over the starting role from Eagles quarterback-of-the-future Kevin Kolb and has since displayed the skills that earned him three Pro Bowl appearances as a member of the Atlanta Falcons.
Michael Vick shocked the league by storm in just his second season back in the NFL after serving 19 months on federal dogfighting charges. He has thrown for 2,755 yards and racked up another 613 on the ground, amassing 28 touchdowns in total and a 103.6 passer rating.
Vick led the Eagles to a winning record of 10-4 and the team currently sit atop the NFC East with just two games remaining.
