1) Turnovers
Ultimately when it comes down to it, in order to win in the NFL, you simply can’t turn over the football. Peterman had a whopping total of five interceptions in the first half.

He was eventually pulled for Tyrod Taylor to begin the second half of a 37-7 football game. Peterman finished his first half as a starter going 6-14 for 66-yards and five interceptions.

Turnovers seem to be a regular occurrence as over the last three games the Bills have managed to turn the ball over for a total of TEN times.

At this point in the season, Taylor has thrown three interceptions all season, Peterman almost doubled Taylor’s interception rate in one half of football.

Going forward if the Bills still have the playoffs on their minds, which they should, they need to start Taylor against Kansas City next week in a must-win game.
