Palisadians Mitchell Schwartz and Chris Conte Make Gains in NFL for Chiefs and Buccaneers

Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz extended his consecutive NFL games started streak to 99 on Sunday as the Chiefs improved to 3-0 with a 38-27 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

The 29-year-old former Palisades High All-City lineman is the NFL’s ultimate ironman, not having missed a snap in  his seven seasons (four in Cleveland, three in Kansas City).

Meanwhile, Palisadian Chris Conte, a defensive back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, made 14 tackles in the team’s first two contests (victories over New Orleans and Philadelphia). The 29-year-old is in his eighth season (four in Chicago, four in Tampa Bay).
