ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -The Buffalo Bills have signed quarterback Brian Brohm off the Green Bay Packers' practice squad.

He was beaten out for the No. 2 quarterback spot by seventh-round pick Matt Flynn, and Brohm was inactive as the third quarterback for all 16 games in 2008. He ended up on the Packers' practice squad this season. The Bills signed Brohm |

If Fewell has any intention of removing the interim tag and keeping the job after the Bills' final seven games this season, it's on him to figure out how to spark |
