*SONG IDENTIFIED* - 8/7/21
Unknown Song #41 is perhaps the most forgettable regularly-used piece of NFL Primetime's later years. It's obviously meant to be little more than an ambient background groove, and that's the purpose it served on the show. The first game to use US #41 was pretty memorable, though. Given how his overall NFL career went, how many people know that Ryan Leaf actually won his first 2 starts? Now saying he won those starts is a stretch, since his stats were nowhere near good in those games, but it's still an interesting footnote. It was an interesting game for Buffalo, too, since it marked Doug Flutie's first action as a Bill (& his first NFL action of any kind in 9 years). Flutie couldn't pull off his patented magic in this one, however, because Steve Christie didn't get the job done at the end.
*EDIT* - This song actually debuted in 1997. Thanks to Kyle Caughlin for pointing this out and to SW561 for posting the clip that proves it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vX-NLMSoiI&feature=youtu.be).
