Bills name QB Nathan Peterman as Week
1 starter vs Ravens The Buffalo Bills have named second-year quarterback Nathan Peterman as their Week 1 starter. As a rookie last year http://www.ravenscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-tavon-young-jersey , Peterman struggled. Playing in four games (two starts), he went 24-for-49 (49.0% completion percentage), passing for 252 yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions, owning a passer rating of 38.4. All fiv
of Peterman’s interceptions came in his debut last season.After selecting former Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen in the first round of this year’s draft and signing A.J. McCarron, it was believed that Peterman would be buried on the depth chart. Against all odds, Peterman stood out during the preseason and secured the starting role with his play. McCarron has since been traded to the Oakland Raiders. Allen will be one of the four first-round rookie quarterbacks to not start. Sam Darnold is the only rookie starter in Week 1.Peterman threw the majority of his passes in the short field during the preseason, which carries over from last year. In 2017, he averaged just 5.1 yards per attempt. However http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/sam-koch-jersey-authentic , he went 33-for-41 (80.0% completion percentage) passing for 430 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Baltimore has a defense that prides itself on takeaways, leading the NFL last season with 34. The Ravens also led the league in interceptions in 2017 with 22. Though Baltimore will miss Jimmy Smith due to suspension, who had the third most interceptions on the team (3), they will have Eric Weddle (6), Brandon Carr (4), Marlon Humphrey (2) and C.J. Mosley (2) in coverage to defend against Buffalo.Last time the Ravens played against Buffalo was in 2016 - another Opening Day game. Baltimore won 13-7.Joe Flacco’s 2018 performance compared to previous seasons The Ravens are 2-1 and Joe Flacco has lead his squad to two victories over the past three weeks. In those games, he’s thrown six touchdowns and two interceptions. He’s come through and completed big-time throws to his three new wide receivers and also the tight end unit. These three games feel refreshing as the offense continues to score time and time again, therefore I felt obligated to compare his impressive 2018 start to the seasons’ prior http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/james-hurst-jersey-authentic , dating back to 2012.Joe Flacco season comparisonYear2018201720162015201420132012Year2018201720162015201420132012Looking over the numbers you realize Flacco’s playing some of his best football since 2012.Joe’s completion percentage is middle-of-the-pack for the seven seasons being compared but that’s fine when you’re throwing for more yards. The only three-game start with more yards is his 2012 season, which is only 24 yards greater than 2018. Keep in mind, Flacco didn’t finish the first game in 2018 as the Ravens blew out the Buffalo Bills 47-3, keeping Joe from more yardage.This is also the most touchdowns Flacco’s thrown for in a three-game opening stretch since 2012. Notice, he’s tied his lowest interception total for this measurement, with two. His average over the six prior years sits around 2.8 interceptions.The worrisome stat coincides with the sacks; only the 2013 season featured more, which shows this offensive line isn’t always keeping Flacco upright and protected. Hopefully, the offensive line will tighten it up as they develop over the season.
