Report: Josh Allen to Start for Bills over Nathan Peterman vs . Chargers

The Buffalo Bills reportedly have named rookie Josh Allen as the team's starting quarterback over Nathan Peterman for their Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, per ESPN 'sChris Mortensen.

Peterman secured the top spot on the depth chart after completing 80.5 percent of his 41 preseason attempts with three touchdowns and one interception.

The 24-year-old University of Pittsburgh product was an unmitigated disaster as the Bills suffered a 47-3 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the season opener, though. He went five of 18 for 24 yards with no scores and two picks before getting replaced by Allen in the second half.
