    Kelly/Hull NFL record still safe

    With the injury to Colts center Jeff Saturday last week (he is out about six weeks), Jim Kelly and Kent Hull's NFL record of 157 consecutive games played together as a center/quarterback combination is safe for a while because, as you can see, none of the others on this list are still playing together:

    QB/C combinations since 1970:
    157 Jim Kelly/Kent Hull (BILLS)
    126 Peyton Manning/Jeff Saturday (COLTS)
    123 Brett Favre/Frank Winters (PACKERS)
    120 Steve Bartkowski/Jeff Van Note (FALCONS)
    106 Phil Simms/Bart Oates (NY GIANTS)
    105 Dan Fouts/Don Macek (CHARGERS)

    Saturday/Manning can still break it, but it would take another 32 starts together. With his injury, that will mean at least another 2.5 years. A lot can change by then.

    Didn't Saturday get injured in the 3rd (maybe late 2nd) quarter? I was surprised to see him still playing when he limped off the field.

            Edwards-Bell combo. Mark my words, Bell will be a allpro OT for buffalo before his careers up.
