Ex-Oregon State star Derek Anderson: 'I gotta be better' following ugly debut with the Buffalo Bills

Derek Anderson said he had enough time to prepare. However, based on his performance, Anderson looked like he didn't have enough time to prepare.

The former Oregon State Beavers star quarterback was thrust into the starting lineup Sunday for the Buffalo Bills game against Indianapolis Colts, just 12 days after he joined the Bills. Anderson had not thrown a football in a NFL game since December and was making his first start since the 2016 season.

Anderson's performance against the Colts should not have been surprising. Anderson completed 20-of-31 passes for 175 yards with three interceptions and a lost fumble during the Bills 37-5 loss.
