Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday he's not considering making a switch from quarterback Tyrod Taylor to rookie Nathan Peterman despite Buffalo scoring just 24 points over the first two weeks of the season, according to ESPN's Mike Rodak.
"We all need to play better and it starts with me as the coach," McDermott said. "Tyrod is our starting quarterback and I expect him to respond this week."
LeSean McCoy was kept mostly in check Sunday by the Carolina Panthers, and Taylor struggled to move the ball without the star running back producing at his normal level.
The Bills scored just three points in the loss, with Taylor throwing for 125 yards and a paltry five yards per attempt.
Taylor also failed to connect with rookie wide receiver Zay Jones on what could have been a game-winning score in the dying seconds. The wideout appeared to drift out of position, but the throw from Taylor left a lot to be desired.
"It takes more than one guy to win a game," McDermott added. "We're going to get that chance again and I hope it's Zay because I know he'll make that play."
The Bills' lack of commitment to Taylor was a major storyline this offseason. It appeared Buffalo might cut the veteran passer until he agreed to a reduced contract.
