Two Bills Drive

‘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.’

‘The starters on offense and defense are expected to play at least the first half, and perhaps into the third quarter if one group doesn’t get enough work in the first 30 minutes. Doug Flutie will start at quarterback, Rob Johnson will likely take over at the start of the third quarter, and Alex Van Pelt may see action late in the fourth quarter.’
