ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills quarterback Rob Johnson will
miss two to four weeks after separating his shoulder during
Buffalo's 27-24 overtime win over San Diego on Sunday.
Johnson was hurt on the first drive of overtime when Chargers
defensive end Neil Smith knocked him down as the Bills quarterback
was throwing away the ball.
"He got my arm underneath me and that's usually when they pop
out, if they drive you in with your arm tucked under," Johnson
said.
It was the third time in six starts this season Johnson has been
knocked out of a game due to injury.
Johnson, despite hearing boos from the sellout crowd at Ralph
Wilson Stadium, had been enjoying a career day. Johnson completed
28 of 44 passes for 306 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
The pass attempts, completions and yardage were all career highs
for the sixth-year quarterback.
Doug Flutie took over and marched the team 31 yards to set up
Steve Christie's 46-yard field goal to win it. Flutie, who missed
seven weeks with a groin injury suffered in training camp, will
take over as starting quarterback.
