I guess he wasn't that easy to gameplan while he was in Buffalo...
Doug Flutie became the Buffalo Bills' starting quarterback in 1998 after the team started 1-3. In his first start, he passed for 2 TDs and led a 4th quarter comeback against the Indianapolis Colts on October 11. The following week Flutie scored the winning touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars on a naked bootleg to enter the endzone as the clock ran out. The Bills' success continued, as the team compiled an 8-3 record with Flutie at the helm. Despite being eliminated in the first round by the Dolphins, Flutie was selected to play in the 1998 Pro Bowl after throwing for 2711 yards with a 87.4 QB Rating—his best in his NFL career.
Flutie threw for 3171 yards and 19 TDS in 1999, leading the Bills to a 10-5 record. However, most of his season was overshadowed by a controversial decision to rest Flutie for the final game in favor of replacement Rob Johnson. To the chagrin of Buffalo fans everywhere, the Flutie-less team lost 22-16.
In 2000, Flutie was named the Bills backup, and only appeared in 11 games, starting five.
However, Flutie once again had his chance to shine: After a subpar start to the season, Rob Johnson was injured vs. the Chargers in overtime. Once again, Flutie was called on to make magic. Engineering a drive downfield, Flutie set up the team for the game winning field goal. After losing three of their first five, the Bills now stood at 3-3. The Bills won 3 of the next 4 with Flutie in the lead, losing only to the Vikings, undefeated at the time. Despite his success, Flutie was once again relegated to backup as soon as Johnson returned from injury. In his final game in Buffalo, Flutie completed 20 of 25 passes, for 366 yards, and 3 TDs. Taking the NFL's 158.3 point passer rating system into account, Flutie threw a perfect game.
