In the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 1 game of the 1986 regular season against the Seattle Seahawks, two quite notable things happened.
First, veteran center Mike Webster had his streak of 150 consecutive games started come to an end because of a dislocated elbow that he had suffered during the preseason. If that weren’t enough, the Steelers were forced to let three offensive lineman make their first career starts against the Seahawks because of injuries to other players.
With Webster out, Dan Turk, who was selected by the Steelers in the fourth-round of the 1985 NFL Draft out of Wisconsin, was forced to make his first start career start at center against the Seahawks.
