Season-ending injury claims Joe Cardona and his incredible NFL streak

The season is officially over for New England Patriots long snapper Joe Cardona, who reportedly has a torn tendon in his foot.

It’s a tough loss for the team this late in the season. The long snapper is a specialty position that takes a lot of trust, and Cardona spent years building that trust with coach Bill Belichick and his teammates in New England.

He has appeared in 140 consecutive games for the Patriots. So not only is his season ending, but his incredible NFL streak will also come to an end in the Week 16 home game against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals.
