Bills QB Peterman could get call again
‘”You’ve got to have a short memory in this business and I thought Nate came out and made a great throw on the first throw to Andre (Holmes) there and went through his progression at times and did some good things so it’s good that he continues to work, continues to play through, and continues to grow and build on what he’s done in the past,” McDermott said.’
