The Cincinnati Bengals say that wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has been added to the AFC's Pro Bowl team.

It's the sixth time Ochocinco has made the Pro Bowl, which will be played Jan. 31 in south Florida.

He replaces the injured Wes Welker of New England. Ochocinco was the second alternate, but first alternate Randy Moss of New England is also hurt.

As a ninth-year pro, Ochocinco led the Bengals with 72 receptions, 1,047 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
