Wednesday Patriots Notebook 10/7: Belichick Impressed with Witten's Stability

It was interesting to hear Bill Belichick talk about the consistency of Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten on Tuesday, with Witten in the middle of a pretty incredible streak as it pertains to his NFL leading number of consecutive regular season games played.

Witten has played in 191 straight games, the highest number of any player at any position in the NFL. That’s only better than the Giants’ Eli Manning, who has played in 171 straight.

With everything the Cowboys’ tight end has accomplished, the fact he’s been out there every week is something that stands out to Belichick, which he talked about during his conference call on Tuesday.
