Feagles feat recognized
With that play, Feagles established a new National Football League record by playing in his 283rd consecutive game. The shoe he wore that day was donated to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and placed on display in the Pro Football Today exhibition area.
Feagles, who has not missed a game in his 18-year career, began his streak in 1988 while a rookie with the New England Patriots. He has also played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals, and Seattle Seahawks.
The Minnesota Vikings’ Jim Marshall had owned the record since he retired after the 1979 season having played in 282 consecutive games.

Feagles took time out from his pre-game warm-up to personally present his shoe from his new record to the Hall.
