‘“They’ve got Bosa and they’ve got Ingram to name two guys that are just relentless of getting after the quarterback. They do a really, really good job of that so we gotta be prepared up front to handle whatever they throw at us. They get to the quarterback very quickly so whether it be throwing some quick stuff early and trying to wear them out and I think that’s what everybody tries to do when they’re playing them so it doesn’t really seem to matter with them,” Bills quarterback Josh Allen said.’

‘“He’s very impressive. I’ve gotten to watch a number of his games to this point and he’s very impressive. I think they’re coordinator Shane Steichen does a great job putting him in positions and they’ve got weapons around him so he came into, what I would consider, a favorable situation also which is also healthy for a young guy. And he’s tough, he’s got a big arm, he’s smart. What more could I say about him? He’s off to a great start,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said.’

That did not end well as Peterman threw five interceptions in the first half (the first one was a pick-six on their opening drive) before Taylor came in to replace him. The Bills lost that game 54-24.’

‘“Obviously very nervous and things didn’t turn out so great. When I look back at it just how little I knew about our protection and our schemes and I should have, could have, would have done a better job if I could go back and do it all over now,” Allen said.’

‘“During that time I felt like it took a lot of self reflecting for me just as a man and as my growth and my process whether I was staying or whether I was leaving, I felt like my process moving forward after that year I was going to handle things a certain kind of way and it just happened that I gone to a new situation and I got to take those necessary steps and grow as a man,” Diggs explained.’
