2. There still might be a quarterback controversy in Buffalo
Despite Peterman’s historically bad debut and Taylor’s solid performance in relief against the Chargers, the door doesn’t seem to be completely closed on Peterman starting the next game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Bills beat reporter Joe Buscaglia also noted the decision on who will start for the Bills is ongoing with McDermott and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison
#Bills OC Rick Dennison said he and Sean McDermott talked on the plane about the QB decision, but they haven't yet talked today.

Whether it’s Peterman or Taylor starting for the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, they will have a great matchup against a Chiefs’ defence that’s allowing the fifth-most passing yards per game in the NFL.
