The Buffalo Bills are now Josh Allen’s football team and coach Sean McDermott said he “doesn’t feel the need to elaborate” on why he’s decided to bench Nathan Peterman.
“Josh will start. … It’s the right move for our team,” McDermott said. “We talk a lot in house about decisions and things and what we’ve gotta do, and the right move at the right time. And right now this is the right move.”
McDermott is pivoting away from Peterman after just one game. The national and local media called the coach’s decision to go with Peterman questionable, and the criticism grew after the second-year quarterback stumbled against the Baltimore Ravens.
