THE AMAZING season of Nick Foles will end up in Hawaii, as we all figured.

Foles, the first alternate for any of the six Pro Bowl quarterbacking spots, was assured of going when Russell Wilson took the Seahawks past the Saints into the NFC Championship Game this weekend.

The Pro Bowl will be Jan. 26, in Honolulu.

Foles' 119.2 passer rating led the league, as did his ratio of 27 touchdown passes to two interceptions. He would have made it outright had those numbers been compiled over the entire season, instead of 10 starts.

The Eagles' LeSean McCoy and Jason Peters were chosen for the game originally, but Peters has declined his invitation. Guard Evan Mathis and wideout DeSean Jackson were tapped as second alternates, and they still could end up joining their buddies.
