Buffalo Bills Truly Embarrassed Themselves With This One

19 Nov, 2017

Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Nathan Peterman threw five interceptions in the first half of his starting debut in Sunday’s 54-24 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

The five interceptions are the most thrown by any NFL quarterback in the first half of a game since at least 2001. His three interceptions in the first quarter were the most since then-New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith was picked three times against the Bills in an October 2014 game.

A fifth-round pick from Pittsburgh, Peterman became the Bills starter when first-year coach Sean McDermott benched Tyrod Taylor this week despite Buffalo holding a 5-4 record.

Peterman was booed by the Bills fans in the crowd at the StubHub Center when he came onto the field with the offense late in the second quarter. The crowd also chanted “We want Tyrod” shortly before halftime.

Taylor, who has thrown three interceptions in nine games this season for the Bills, took over in the second half. He finished 15-for-25 with 158 yards and a touchdown.

Along with his five picks, Peterman went 6-for-14 for 66 yards.
