Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott says that he will evaluate who will start at quarterback for his team next week after Nathan Peterman had a dismal debut Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

After throwing five interceptions, Peterman was replaced in the second half by Tyrod Taylor, who had lost his starting job earlier in the week.

McDermott did not call his decision to start Peterman over Taylor a mistake, however he expressed that the 54-24 loss certainly was not in the plans.

"I don't regret my decision. I regret the result," McDermott told reporters after the game. "This is in part about winning now and in part about winning in the future.

"This game got away from us in a hurry ... All teams go through a tough stretch. We have to manage this downturn, stay mentally tough, and make corrections going forward."

Taylor finished the game with 158 passing yards, 38 rushing yards and two total touchdowns, though the game was out of hand before he got to play.

The Bills face the Kansas City Chiefs on the road next week.
