Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman played historically awful on Sunday. In his National Football League debut, as the man tasked with replacing super-talented Tyrod Taylor, went 6-of-14 for 66 yards and five interceptions.

That's right. He had six completions to five interceptions. That's not ideal. Especially not when you consider that Taylor only had tossed three picks all season long.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Nathan Peterman was the first quarterback since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to throw at least five interceptions in a first half.

Anyway, Peterman is rightfully shook.

“I’ve had tough games before and coach always says you never lose, you learn,” Peterman said, via Matthew Fairburn of nyup.com. “That will be my mindset moving forward. I am going to learn a lot from this and make sure that it never happens again.”

“I was really just trusting God honestly,” Peterman said. “Sometimes you just do not really understand why things happen. I have to trust in a higher power. I think my relationship with God helps a lot with that.

“I am prepared and I watch film all week. I can definitely see what my teammates can do out there. They are talented. The whole NFL is talented. I felt prepared and now I just need to play better.”

Maybe Peterman isn't as bad a quarterback as he seemed to be on Sunday, but his performance didn't lend any credence to the idea he even just belongs in the National Football League.

With that being said, I am sure John Elway will trade for him this offseason.
