A new series we’ll occasionally write about throughout the offseason. Examining some of the greatest streaks in Pittsburgh Steelers history and the games and moments they were broken.
Mike Webster – First Missed Game (1986)
Iron Mike. That was the many they called Webby. The Steelers’ sturdy man in the middle, Webster was undersized but played big. And he always played. Drafted in 1974, he started 149 straight games from 1976 to 1985 season. To put that in perspective, that streak is longer more than the total number of starts Troy Polamalu or Maurkice Pouncey had across their entire careers.
