NO they used him in a preseason because at that time he was the 3rd QB...as they were only carrying 2..Last year one series; preseason.Didn't the Pats use Troy once for this reason?
The Bodybag Game featured the Eagles injuring 9 Redskins and forcing them to put Brian Mitchell at QB

Back in the 70's Terry Bradshaw got hurt and the Steelers back up who came in was Tony Dungy who was a DB. He became the only player to ever throw an interception and catch an interception in the same game.
Not that I am challenging you, but I find that hard to believe considering how many players played both ways in the early days.

There was a famous game where the Colts halfback Tom Matte played QB while Johhnny U and his backups were all injured. He had the plays pasted on tape on his forearm, the first anyone had ever done that.
If I'm not mistaken, Matte actually started the game as a QB, and it might have even been a playoff game. I think he won too.
Some of the Colts fans who post here might know but that was back in the glory Baltimore days...
i could have sworn that the 6th post of this thread brought up Tom Matte...
...do you mooks all have me on ignore?
