GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Detroit Lions defensive tackle Damon "Snacks" Harrison became the eighth player since 1931 to play in 17 games in an NFL season.
Harrison was able to accomplish this by being traded from the New York Giants to Detroit in October -- before the Giants' bye week and after the Lions had their bye.
He became the second player to start 16 of the 17 games in said season, joining linebacker Will Witherspoon, who played for both Philadelphia and the then-St. Louis Rams in 2009. No player has started 17 games in a season.
