Nathan Peterman played an end-to-end match for the first time in his NFL career on Sunday, defeating the Chicago Bears 41-9. But the last outing of Buffalo Bills' quarterback, often criticized, did not go better than his previous ones.

Three of his passes were in the hands of the Bears players.

Terrelle Pryor, in her first game with Buffalo, played the hot potato with a short pass from Peterman in the center of the second quarter. The safety of bears, Adrian Amos, stole the ball.

Less than three minutes into the game later, Bears, linebacker Leonard Floyd, scored a small overflow of 19 yards.

Cornerback Kyle Fuller dipped for the third interception, an arrow in the center for attacking midfielder Chris Ivory with 8 seconds left in the third quarter.

Peterman finished the game with 189 yards on 31 of his 49 assists and added to an unattractive summary:

1. The second interception of the second-year quarter on Sunday earned him 11 picks, a record for any Super Bowl player with 100 career assists or less. However, he later crossed the threshold of 100 attempts, ending the loss with 12 career attempts out of 130, good for more than one out of nine attempts.

2 In comparison, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will face another great Sunday Night Football player with Tom Brady, has launched 11 interceptions in the last 993 pass attempts. by ESPN. Peterman's intercept rate is more than ten times that of Rodgers.

3 Peterman also claims to have touched as many (three) touchdowns as he did after Sunday's Floyd score.

4 Sunday marked the first time of his career in Peterman's career that he played more than two consecutive quarters and surpassed the 100 yard mark. He was shot twice on three starts and injured on the other.

5 Peterman has become the first quarterback since 1999 with at least 30 completions to pass for less than 190 yards. Derek Carr and Joe Flacco are the only two other smugglers to have fewer than 200 players with this mark, with each record 192.
