Orchard Park, NY - The NFL announced over the weekend that Bills LB Takeo Spikes and KR Terrence McGee will start for the AFC squad in next month's Pro Bowl.

Spikes used 2004 to solidify himself as one of the top all-around linebackers in the League as he set new career highs in interceptions with five, two of which he returned for touchdowns, and pass defenses with 14. His five interceptions led the NFL among linebackers. This marks Spikes' second Pro Bowl start in as many selections.

McGee joins the AFC squad for the first time and will be the Conference's return specialist. The second-year cornerback returned three kickoffs for touchdowns this season, making him only the 10th player in NFL history with three-plus KOR touchdowns in a season. He also led the AFC in kick returns with a 26.3 average.

Spikes and McGee were also named to The Associated Press All-Pro Team last week as Spikes was selected to the first team, while McGee garnered second-team honors.

Bills DT Sam Adams will join McGee and Spikes in the Pro Bowl.
