Doug Flutie Kicks Himself Back Into The Limelight

Patriots back-up quarterback Doug Flutie must have a problem with narcissism. The 5 foot 10, 180 pound man had an affinity for become the big man on the field. He did it at Boston College, in the CFL, and for every team he's been the quarterback of in the NFL.

So for what may be his last game in the NFL, the gave Flutie a chance to get on the books as a kicker for an extra point. Apparently, Flutie used to drop kick in the CFL, so he gave it a shot completing the first successful drop kick in the NFL since 1941 (Ray McLean of the Chicago Bears completed the last successful drop kick on an extra point in the Bears' 37-9 win over the New York Giants in the NFL championship game that year).
