Derek Anderson will become the 13th Bills quarterback to start a game against the Bill Belichick-coached Patriots

No position in the NFL is as important as quarterback – and none is tied as close to winning and losing as well: if a team finds a good passer, its odds of having success increase. The Buffalo Bills have not had a lot of success ever since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly decided to retire, lacking the necessary stability at the game’s pivotal offensive position. Through the years, the team started multiple quarterbacks but none proved to be of the franchise type.

This offseason, the Bills took a shot at the next candidate to finally fill this role by choosing Wyoming’s Josh Allen with the seventh overall pick of the draft.
