The Washington Redskins have one of the most loyal fan bases in professional sports. And apparently they are computer-savvy too. Even though the Redskins have lost two straight games and are fighting to make the playoffs, the fans have voted in droves to send their favorite Redskin to the Pro Bowl.

- Based only on the results of fan voting so far, eight of 11 NFC starters on both offense and defense would be Redskins, along with all four special teams players. Fan voting on NFL.com continues through Dec. 9 and counts for one-third of the total. Players’ and coaches’ votes each count for one-third as well, so the Redskins landslide could be stemmed in late December. More
