For the first time since 2003, no Raiders player was selected to the AFC Pro Bowl team, which was announced Wednesday.

Kicker Sebastian Janikowski and FB Marcel Reece were chosen as alternates.

Janikowski, who made the Pro Bowl last year for the first time, has had a stellar 2012 season. He has made 31 of 34 field goal attempts, including all 25 from 49 yards or under and 6 of 9 from 50 and above. Janikowski finished first among AFC kickers in the fan voting, but he apparently didn't poll as well with coaches and players.

Cleveland's Phil Dawson was selected as the AFC Pro Bowl kicker. Dawson made 28 of 29 field goal attempts.

Reece has caught 52 passes for 496 yards and a touchdown and has rushed 59 times for 271 yards -- 4.6 a pop. He started four games at running back when Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson were out with high-ankle sprains.

Baltimore's Vonta Leach was named the AFC team's fullback.

Last year, four Raiders made the Pro Bowl -- Janikowski, P Shane Lechler, LS Jon Condo and DT Richard Seymour.
