Frank Reich

Frank Michael Reich (born December 4, 1961 in Freeport, New York) is a former NFL quarterback. A perennial backup quarterback (Reich only started twenty games in his thirteen-season NFL career), Reich is best known for leading the Buffalo Bills to the greatest comeback in NFL history in the 1992 playoffs over the Houston Oilers. With the Bills trailing 35-3 in the third quarter, Reich rallied the Bills to a 41-38 victory in overtime. The victory helped lead the Bills to a Super Bowl appearance.

Reich was never able to truly succeed as a starting quarterback. He was given the chance with the expansion Carolina Panthers in 1995, but was pulled in favor of Kerry Collins after three games. He left for the New York Jets in 1996 and the Detroit Lions in 1997 and finally retired following the 1998 season.
