NFL Note - Buffalo Bills Peterman, Nathan

Nov 20, 2017 - 9:21 AM QB Nathan Peterman, a fifth-round pick from Pittsburgh, was dreadful as he made bad decisions and he couldn't handle the Chargers' pass rush. Peterman, who was 6 of 14 for 66 yards, was replaced by Tyrod Taylor with 10 minutes remaining in the third quarter.

"I've had tough games before," Peterman said. "You don't lose, you learn."

Peterman heaved five first-half interceptions to fuel the Los Angeles Chargers in their 54-24 triumph over Buffalo at the StubHub Center on Sunday. He completed six of 14 passes for 66 yards and a rating of 17.9.

"I'm going to go back and learn from this as much as I can," Peterman said.

Peterman's first half was unsightly, but not quite historic. Joe Ferguson threw six picks in a game for the Bills in 1974 against the Houston Oilers. The Chargers' record for interceptions is six, when they flustered the Colts' Peyton Manning in 2007.

The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Peterman started for the first time since last year when leading Pittsburgh to a school-record 532 points and an upset of eventual national champion Clemson. But in his two years with the Panthers, and two before that with Tennessee, he never produced a day like Sunday.
