Oct. 2, 1988

After his brief stint with the Bears, Flutie was traded to the Patriots, where he played from 1987-89. His fans loved having him home, and he won more than he lost as quarterback, but the team never seemed enamored enough with him. He was released in 1989 and went on to play for the Canadian Football League.
