The Buffalo Bills are playing the Cleveland Browns in a nationally-televised preseason game on ESPN this evening, and it's a momentous occasion for the team's two young quarterbacks, Tyrod Taylor and EJ Manuel. But they'll have to play well despite the team missing several big-name players.
Taylor will start, and the Bills confirmed pre-game that veteran Matt Cassel is not expected to see any playing time, indicating that Taylor and Manuel will se the overwhelming majority of the snaps tonight. It's a chance for both - chiefly Taylor, since he's starting - to prove himself worthy of the up-for-grabs starting gig, while perhaps doubling as a vote of confidence (of sorts) for Cassel, the presumed favorite.
