The 2022 Pro Bowl will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Feb. 6, and the game will feature three sets of brothers. Buffalo Bills and AFC team member wide receiver Stefon Diggs will face off against Dallas Cowboys NFC team member, cornerback Trevon Diggs.
The other pairs are Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce; and pass rushers Joey Bosa of the Los Angeles Chargers and Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers.
Trevon, the league leader in interceptions, is making his first trip to the Pro Bowl in his second season in the NFL. He has 10 interceptions and a shot at the Cowboys franchise record of 11. Trevon posted a message to Twitter and shared the moment of being named a Pro Bowler with his family.

“That was real cool,” said Trevon Diggs, who’s in his second season. “Probably one of my favorite moments of this year, for real, because that’s my brother and I love him to death and just being able to go up there with him, that’s fire.”
Older brother Stefon was very happy and proud of his little bro.
“He was the epitome of just taking that second-year jump, maturing as a player on and off the field,” Stefon Diggs said. “I was just more proud than anything. I knew he was going, but I still wanted to see it. I saw his picture and I saw his face, I saw him in the Cowboys, I’m like, `Yeah, that’s my little brother.” ‘
Supporting his little bro is nothing new for Stefon. He took to Twitter Sunday night, Dec. 26, during the Cowboys’ game against the Washington Football Team and tweeted out support for Trevon, who had an interception, two tackles and two pass deflections.

The Diggs brothers hope to make deep playoff runs with their respective teams as well. Stefon’s Bills are tied with the New England Patriots atop the NFC east, and Trevon’s Cowboys clinched the NFC east and are a game behind the Green Bay Packers for the top spot in the conference.
Kelce Bros
The year 2022 will mark the third consecutive season for the Kelce brothers to make it. Travis Kelce earned his seventh Pro Bowl selection, and brother Jason his fifth.
Are the Kelce's the best brother combo in #NFL history?

Travis’ Chiefs clinched their sixth straight AFC west crown on Sunday and are atop the conference, winners of eight straight games. After a slow start to the season, they look like the team to beat once again in the AFC.
Jason’s Eagles with a win against the New York Giants on Sunday control their own playoff destiny. If they win their final two games against Washington and Dallas, they’re in the playoffs.
Bosa Bros
For the Bosa brothers, this is Joey’s fourth pro bowl selection and Nick’s second. Both Joey’s Chargers and Nick’s 49ers are in the playoff hunt.
The better Bosa brother, Nick, VERY quietly has 15 sacks on the year šŖ
Should he be getting more DPOY recognition? š¤pic.twitter.com/ewidMxcdQE

The sports analytics website FiveThirtyEight gives the 49ers a 69 percent chance of making the playoffs, and the Chargers only a 36 percent chance.
Joey Bosa missed week 16 and will need to come back, help his team win out the rest of the way and hope for some luck with other teams losing.
