The Oilers are continuing their “Who’s The Quarterback?” show for another week.
Starter Cody Carlson, although reasonably healthy Monday night against Philadelphia, was pulled in the fourth quarter when the outcome was still in question and replaced by former emergency quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver.
