From the Associated Press:

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will make his second straight start this weekend while Trent Edwards continues to recover from a concussion.

Coach Dick Jauron made the announcement on Monday, a day after Fitzpatrick helped the Bills (3-4) to their second straight victory, 20-9 at Carolina. Buffalo hosts Houston (4-3) on Sunday before entering its bye week.

Edwards was knocked out in the Buffalo's 16-13 victory over the New York Jets on Oct. 18. Jauron sidestepped a question about whether Edwards will regain the starting job once he's fully recovered.

The coach said Edwards is improving and has been cleared to work out.

The team is doing this for the right reasons.

They are concerned about the long-term mental health...

Of their fans.

Fitzpatrick will never be better than ordinary, but that's a level of quarterbacking that hasn't been seen in Buffalo since Flutie strung together 4 good games.
