The Pro Bowl snub saga continues, and Kansas City Chiefs fans aren’t laughing. Star CB Trent McDuffie has been passed over again — for the third straight year — and the reactions are fiery. With McDuffie’s elite coverage skills and game-changing plays all season, many are calling this a “joke.”
Chiefs Kingdom is fuming, pointing to his lockdown defense as Pro Bowl-worthy.
Fans Erupt Over Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie’s Pro Bowl Snub
The Pro Bowl voting results are in, and once again, McDuffie is on the outside looking in. Despite locking down top WRs all season and anchoring one of the league’s stingiest defenses, McDuffie was voted out.
Fans pulled no punches.
“It’s a f*****g joke,” one fan vented on X. “Pro Bowl should be voted on by players and GMs.”
Others pointed out the glaring discrepancy: “It’s actually insane how few Chiefs made the top four in most positions, given that we only have 1 loss.”

A third user lamented, “will be first team all pro and a 3x super bowl champ. too bad he won’t be able to add pro bowl to his resume.”

Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens saw 10 players make the Pro Bowl, sparking claims of bias.
“People are sick and tired of KC,” another user remarked.
Some fans found a silver lining, believing this snub could motivate McDuffie come playoff time. “It’ll just fuel ’em more in the playoffs,” wrote one optimist.

As the Chiefs gear up for the postseason, McDuffie’s absence from the Pro Bowl roster looms large.
With HC Andy Reid addressing Patrick Mahomes’ limited participation, the focus remains on the bigger prize — a three-peat.
Chiefs Rest Patrick Mahomes Ahead of Postseason Push
The Chiefs are playing it smart — because when you’re gunning for a three-peat, every move counts. Head coach Andy Reid has announced Patrick Mahomes will sit out the final regular season game against the Denver Broncos in Week 18.
Why? The Chiefs have already clinched the AFC’s top seed with a 15-1 record, and the GOAT-in-the-making deserves a breather.
“It wasn’t a hard decision,” Reid said when explaining his motives. “I’ve been through that before. So, I’m not too worried about [losing rhythm]. It gives the other guys an opportunity to grow. [Carson Wentz] will be the starting quarterback. We’ll kind of work things from there about who goes and who doesn’t go.”
Translation: Been there, won that. This break gives the backup Wentz a chance to shine.
For fans worried about losing momentum — don’t. This squad thrives on pressure, and Mahomes resting up means one thing: playoff Mahomes is coming. Denver can wait; the Chiefs are laser-focused on Super Bowl 59.
