Nathan Peterman throws another pick-6 as Bills offense continues to reach new lows

With Derek Anderson and Josh Allen still sidelined, the Buffalo Bills turned back to backup quarterback Nathan Peterman, and the results were about the same.
Peterman has started just three games in his career, throwing 9 interceptions in 81 total pass attempts, including a disastrous five-pick performance in his first start last season.
Heading into Week 9, Peterman faced a difficult matchup against an elite Chicago Bears defense. Things didn't go well.

In the second quarter, Peterman hit receiver Jason Croom with a 1-yard pass. As Croom caught the ball, he was hit by the Bears and lost the ball. The Bears regained control and returned the ball for a touchdown.
On the next Bills possession, Peterman threw a short pass over the middle that was intercepted.
Then, on a third straight possession, Peterman was hit as he was letting go of the ball. The ball flopped out of his hands and right to Bears linebacker Leonard Floyd, who returned it for a touchdown.
