PITTSBURGH -- Steelers linebacker James Harrison has been chosen as an AFC Pro Bowl starter for the third consecutive season.

Nose tackle Casey Hampton is the only other Steelers player on the AFC team, which was announced Tuesday. This is the fifth time in six seasons Hampton has been chosen.

Harrison, last season's NFL Defensive Player of the Year, was selected even though teammate LaMarr Woodley has 11 1/2 sacks to Harrison's 10. Harrison doesn't have a sack in five games, but does have five forced fumbles this season.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is the first player in team history to throw for 4,000 yards in a season, but he was beaten out by the Colts' Peyton Manning, the Patriots' Tom Brady and the Chargers' Philip Rivers.
