‘Doug Flutie will be the 13th different season-opening starting quarterback in the 40-year history of the Buffalo Bills…The only ones to win their first start were Flores, Ferguson and Collins. Their overall opening-week record is 17-22.’

Survival Of The Fittest
‘Buffalo rode Doug Flutie all the way to the playoffs – after opening the season 0-3. The Bills became just the fifth team in NFL history to lose its first three and rebound to make the postseason. Flutie stepped in for an injured Rob Johnson and never relinquished the job, winning seven of 10 starts down the stretch. Despite that performance, Flutie is by no means
guaranteed a starting role all season – Johnson owns a $25 million contract and he doesn’t figure to just concede his spot.’
