Lions' Prater added to Pro Bowl

Greg M. Cooper / USA TODAY Sports

Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater has been added to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster, replacing Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant, who is unable to play because of his team's advancement to Super Bowl LI.

Prater connected on 31 field goals this season, a career high and the third-most in franchise history.

The veteran's clutch play likely helped him gain All-Star recognition, as he converted on six game-winning or game-tying field goals late in the fourth quarter or in overtime.
