Besides the number 210
One thing that stands out to me is sometime in the late 2000s Eli hurt his shoulder and Mortenson reported Eli would miss atleast 4-6 weeks
Didn't miss a game.
Also he battled thru some bad plantar fasciitis one year but still played well.
I guess the most impressive part is how GENUINE his streak was
Guy legit never even came that close to missing a game
Never broke a rib , ever. Nothing.
Guy eats hits.
2011/12 NFCG at SF he took so many shots..
It's a shame his streak ended at the hands of a fat piece of shit coach trying to save his job after riding Elis ass all the way to a head coaching gig i.e. Macadoo is great for Eli, quick let's make him HC because of eli etc.. but nah he threw him under the bus all year , it is what it is .
I think about that sometimes whenever I hear 'dirty pocket.' How the hell does he have the balls to play in this crappy offense?
Wow.
It happens week 1 in Dallas opening night. I believe it was actually canty who threw him to the ground. No bye week he played against the pack the following week which we lost. Then we had the great second half comeback against the skins week 3 aka the goal line stand.
That was 2013, the year when the offensive line might have been even worse than this one.
Rumors also suggested that the elbow injury he suffered in the 2005 preseason got re-aggravated later that year, and that he might have suffered an injury in the 2012 49ers game. However, I don't believe those rumors were ever confirmed.

Haha you must not be reading a lot of the posts on here then. A lot of people "don't care" about the streak. You have quite a lot in common with others on here.
In '04 I remember some Eagles huge player totally blasted Eli into tomorrow and Eli promptly bounced back up.
