His team scored 59 points a game, and in one year he threw for a record 58 touchdowns. Totten played professionally in the CFL with the BC Lions (1986) and Toronto Argonauts (1987) before moving on to the NFL, as a replacement player for the Buffalo Bills during the strike-shortened 1987 NFL season. In two games as a strikebreaker, Totten completed 13 of 33 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns. He also fumbled nine times and accounted for eight turnovers in a pair of Bills losses.
