Tyrod Taylor to start as Bills' QB as Nate Peterman recovers from concussion
Tyrod Taylor is back as the Buffalo Bills' starting quarterback as rookie Nate Peterman remains sidelined because of a concussion, the team announced on Friday.
Bills coach Sean McDermott said Peterman, who was injured in the Bills’ 13-7 overtime victory over Indianapolis on Sunday, remains in concussion protocol. Taylor, who was nearly cut by the Bills after last season and benched by McDermott this season, will attempt to lead Buffalo past the Miami Dolphins as the team tries to reach the playoffs for the first time since 1999.

"Ultimately, as a team, we have a goal to do something special for this city, and that's first off to get back in the playoffs," Taylor told The Associated Press. "It starts with one game. And it's this game right here."
Taylor is overcoming his own injury, a bruised tendon in his left knee that has sidelined him since a loss to the New England Patriots on Dec. 3.
