Veteran offensive lineman Revenberg to play 100th game with Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday

Brandon Revenberg has quietly become a model of consistency with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The six-foot-four, 301-pound offensive lineman has missed just one game since being taken third overall in the 2016 CFL draft. On Friday night, the veteran guard will appear in his 100th career regular-season contest when Hamilton visits the Calgary Stampeders.

"I don't know if he wants to play 100 more but he's one of those guys that, at one point, you're really going to miss."

Predictably, the humble Revenberg, 29, of Essex, Ont., downplayed the significance of the milestone.

"I realize it's a decent career so far but at the end of the day it's just a number," Revenberg said. "Definitely happy to be with the same organization for that long.

"It's a good amount of games but it's just another game."

However, it's one that means a lot for both teams.

Hamilton (5-10) assumed control of its playoff destiny with last week's 18-14 home win over the idle Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-10) in the battle for the East Division's third and final post-season berth. The Ticats can clinch the No. 3 seed by winning all three of their final regular-season contests.

Calgary (10-5) remains in contention for second in the West Division and home field advantage for the conference semifinal. Currently the Stampeders are tied with B.C. (10-5) but must finish with more points than the Lions, who own the tiebreaker after having won the season series.

History certainly isn't on Hamilton's side. The Ticats have lost 15 straight games at McMahon Stadium, their last victory there coming in 2004.

What's more, Calgary is 5-0 against East Division teams. Hamilton is 2-5 versus the West but 0-7 on the road.

"They're facts and so we deal with it," Steinauer said of
