Packers' Corey Linsley Had Utterly Ridiculous Iron Man Streak Snapped by Sunday Concussion

The Green Bay Packers held on to defeat their iconic NFL rival Dallas Cowboys 34-24 on Sunday afternoon. While every fan will talk about Green Bay's huge win, a certain under-the-radar streak came to an end in the process.

During the first half, center Corey Linsley suffered a concussion, which kept him out of action for the remainder of the day. Lucas Patrick entered the game at center as his replacement. As a result, Linsley's consecutive snaps streak came to an end at a whopping 2,749.

Corey Linsley (ruled out with a concussion) had played in 2,749 straight snaps coming into today and dating to the 2016 season. That includes the last 363 snaps of 2016 (including playoffs), all 1,047 snaps of 2017 and all 1,074 snaps of 2018 and all... https://t.co/ikk5VWxc7Z

Linsley has been on the field for every offensive down since the middle of 2016. That's a nearly three-year streak. That's some ridiculous durability.

Once entering the NFL out of Ohio State as a 2014 fifth-round draft pick, Linsley made his presence felt, replacing an injured JC Tretter as a rookie. Once he took over, Linsley never relinquished the role until 2016, when he dealt with a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the first half of that season. Ever since, a streak was born.

Corey Linsley was properly honoreds as the Packers' 2018 Iron Man Award winner, and he solidified that moniker with this impressive streak. Like all good streaks, his run unfortunately came to an end.

Luckily, his streak was sacrificed in the name of a win, however.
