The Bills had their best season of the century last year. A 9-7 record allowed them to sneak into the playoffs for the first time since 1999, ending the longest drought in major North American sports.
The only stumble was a bizarre episode in the middle of the season when they abruptly benched their starting quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, and went with the rookie Nathan Peterman, who promptly threw five interceptions in the first half.
So it came as a surprise when the Bills traded Taylor after the season, and it was an utter shock when they announced that their starter this year … would be Nathan Peterman.
