In January 2001 , Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson fired his general manager , John Butler , and his entire staff .

With so many former Bills connections , the team was often referred to as the Bills West .

Despite the fact that the Bills were having a very bad season , and the Chargers ' fortunes ( at the time ) had turned significantly , the game was very competitive , coming down to the final minutes play . Trailing 24 – 20 , Flutie scrambled 13 yards to put the Chargers up 27 – 24 ; when kicker Jake Arians attempted a 44 - yard field goal to tie the game , it was blocked .

Although Vick has never become league MVP , he finished second in voting in 2004 .
