David Binn will be playing in his 195th career game on Sunday night when the Chargers host the Pittsburgh Steelers. It will tie him with Doug Wilkerson (1971-1984) for the second-most games played in team history. Binn needs to play in six more games to tie the team record for games played (200), which is shared by Junior Seau (1990-2002) and Russ Washington (1968-1982). Assuming he plays in every game this season, he will tie that mark when the Bolts face the Bengals in Cincinnati on Nov. 12.

Binn has been known for durability and consistency throughout his career. In 12-plus pro seasons, he has only ever missed one game due to injury and his pinpoint snaps have helped propel the careers of some outstanding kickers and punters, including Nate Kaeding, Mike Scifres, John Carney and Darren Bennett. Carney is the franchise’s all-time leading scorer and Bennett is the team’s all-time leading punter.
