Doug Flutie announced as the Bills Legend of the Game for Week 13 against the 49ers

He made the Pro Bowl in 1998 and won Comeback Player of the Year after winning 8 of 11 starts and leading the Bills to the playoffs. Flutie said playing in Buffalo was a big step in his career after playing eight years in the CFL.

“It was my second chance at the NFL and confirmed all the things I thought I could do,” Flutie said. “In my career, it was a very big year when I first came back. It wasn’t just a stop, it was a big, big part of my NFL career… And then emotionally, the way the fans reacted, with the Flutie flakes and everything else, and selling, I don’t know how many millions of boxes, to raise the money for the foundation.”

Since his retirement, Flutie has been closely involved with his foundation: The Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism. He came up with the idea after talking to Jim Kelly and wanting to do something in the name of his son, who had been diagnosed with autism.
