There are no real surprises in either list, other than the fact that the playoff-bound Cincinnati Bengals are the only AFC team other than the Chiefs to have no players on the squad.  With Cedric Benson, Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall having outstanding seasons, it proves disappointing to Bengal fans at least one didn't make the list.

In the NFC, it's quite the irony that both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers made the squad at quarterback.  Those conversations on the sidelines should be interesting.  No NFC playoff-bound team was left off the squad.
