Nathan Peterman isn't having the best start to his NFL career.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback tossed five interceptions in the first half of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, and managed just 66 yards passing on six completions.

Peterman was replaced by Tyrod Taylor in the third quarter.

The decision to give the rookie his first start and bench Taylor confused many observers, considering the Bills owned a winning record and held down a playoff spot heading into Sunday.
