Brock Purdy and Tua Tagovailoa were selected to their first Pro Bowl on Wednesday as the starting quarterbacks for their respective conferences.
Purdy is the first 49ers quarterback to be named to the Pro Bowl since Jeff Garcia in 2002.
Tagovailoa is the first Dolphins quarterback to be named to the Pro Bowl since Dan Marino in 1995, ending the NFL's longest active drought, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
It is the first time the two starting quarterbacks will be selected for the first time since the 1999 season, when Pro Football Hall of Famers Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner were selected.
Purdy was one of nine players selected by the San Francisco 49ers (12-4) to secure the NFC's No. 1 seed. He was joined by edge rusher Nick Bosa, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, fullback Kyle Juszczyk, tight end George Kittle, running back Christian McCaffrey, cornerback Charvarius Ward, linebacker Fred Warner and tackle Trent Williams.
The 49ers (13-3) had the most players selected. Baltimore (13-3) and Dallas (11-5) each have seven Pro Bowl players.
