ORCHARD PARK Authentic Jaquan Johnson Jersey , N.Y. (AP) — Sean McDermott insists the Buffalo Bills have enough talent on offense to win in the NFL.“I believe we do,” the Bills coach said.It sure didn’t look that way in a 41-9 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, in what became the latest comedy of errors produced by an offense that’s proven more capable of committing turnovers than scoring touchdowns this season.Nathan Peterman continued showing he’s nowhere close to resembling an NFL quarterback. He threw three interceptions — one returned for a touchdown — to up his career total to 13 interceptions in just 153 passing attempts, including playoffs.Backup tight end Jason Croom lost a fumble , which was returned for another score.The Bills (2-7) were held to under 10 points for the fifth time this season, and have managed just 96 in nine games.And the only bright side was Peterman’s mean-nothing 1-yard touchdown run scored with 5:41 remaining to end Buffalo’s touchdown drought at 187 minutes and 19 seconds. It was the Bills’ eighth TD of the season, and first since Peterman’s 16-yard pass to Zay Jones in the fourth quarter of a 20-13 loss at Houston three weeks ago.“It was like a domino effect today,” receiver Kelvin Benjamin said. “It just kept stacking up on us. We really couldn’t catch back up.”He was referring to a second quarter in which the Bears scored 28 points in span of 12:20, included Eddie Jackson’s 65-yard fumble return and Leonard Floyd returning a pass that tipped off of Jones’ hands 19 yards for a score.“I don’t have the exact answer for it,” Jones said. “I don’t think I see anybody that’s not trying to give it their all. That’s the most discouraging thing about the whole situation right now is that the effort is there.”Frustration is setting in on a team that has lost four straight and, off to its worst start since losing eight of its nine first games in 2010.The Bills had no choice but to start Peterman Jaquan Johnson Jersey Boys , with rookie Josh Allen missing his third straight game with a sprained right elbow and Derek Anderson sidelined by a concussion.Though Peterman’s struggles were anticipated, the Bills have no solutions in spurring a running attack that is suddenly regressing.A week after LeSean McCoy had 13 yards on 12 carries in a 25-6 loss to New England , the running back was limited to 10 yards on 10 carries against the Bears.McDermott even made the decision to sit McCoy for a majority of the second half while he tinkered with his offensive line. Rookie Wyatt Teller saw playing time at left guard, while Jeremiah Sirles eventually split time at right tackle.McDermott was vague in saying he sat McCoy because of what the Bears were doing schematically.McCoy, meantime, didn’t stick around to share his thoughts. He was spotted exiting the locker room before reporters were allowed to enter.Though Peterman will bear the brunt of the blame, not all the interceptions were his fault.Newly signed receiver Terrelle Pryor caught Peterman’s pass and lost control as he turned up field, with the ball landing in defensive back Adrian Amos‘ hands. Three snaps into Buffalo’s next possession, Peterman’s hard pass over the middle struck Jones in the hand and bounced directly to Floyd, who returned it for a touchdown.Peterman finished 31 of 49 for 189 yards and sacked four times in an outing reminiscent of his previous meltdowns. Peterman lost the starting job after faltering midway through a season-opening 47-3 loss at Baltimore. And then there were the five interceptions he threw in a 54-24 loss at the Los Angeles Chargers a year ago.“I think I don’t feel snake-bitten. I never feel like a victim or anything like that,” Peterman said. “It’s life. Things don’t always bounce your way.”Benjamin rallied to Peterman’s support Youth Josh Allen Jerseys , saying it’s unfair to pin the blame on him.“We know how the outside world works. They’re going to bash him and try to break his confidence. But Nate’s a good dude,” Benjamin said. “Unfortunately, bad things keep happening. And that’s football.” MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Jordan Phillips‘ eagerness to get the last word backfired on the Buffalo Bills.The animated defensive tackle drew a costly penalty for taunting his former team, setting up a touchdown with nine minutes left that helped the Miami Dolphins rally past Buffalo 21-17 on Sunday.Miami turned away two Bills drives down the stretch, and Charles Clay made a diving try but failed to catch Josh Allen’s desperation fourth-down pass at the goal line in the final minute.“This one hurts a lot,” Allen said.The rookie quarterback threw for 231 yards and ran for 135 to set a franchise record for rushing yards by a quarterback for the second week in a row. Miami won despite being outgained 415-175.“It beats the heck out of the alternative,” said Miami’s Ryan Tannehill, who threw three touchdown passes .The Dolphins (6-6) snapped a two-game losing streak and won for only the third time since Week 3, helping their slim playoff chances. The Bills (4-8) will play their customary role of spoilers in the final weeks, assured of finishing at .500 or worse for the 16th time in the past 19 years.Phillips had said he was eager to settle old scores with the Dolphins after they released him in Week 5 Josh Allen Jerseys Stitched , and Miami was trying to rally from a three-point deficit when he tackled Kenyan Drake for a 4-yard loss deep in Bills territory.Phillips rose, pushed Drake’s leg away and drew a 15-yard penalty for taunting.When asked to describe the call, Phillips said, “Borderline is very generous. … I hit someone’s foot, and that’s an unsportsmanlike conduct? OK.”Bills coach Sean McDermott tempered his critique of Phillips’ penalty.“He’s playing emotional football,” McDermott said. “He made a great play in the backfield, but at the same time, you can’t beat yourself. If that’s how they’re going to call it, that’s how they’re going to call it, and we have to play smarter than that.”On the play after the infraction, the Bills stopped Miami for another loss Youth Tremaine Edmunds Jerseys , and Phillips directed showy applause toward the Miami bench. Bills coaches then took him out of the game, and he watched from the sideline as Tannehill hit Kenny Stills with a 13-yard scoring pass for a 21-17 lead.Allen then drove the Bills to the Miami 23 before he was sacked on consecutive plays, and Stephen Hauschka missed a 55-yard field goal attempt.The Bills drove 65 yards in the final 2 1/2 minutes but again came up short — literally. A completion to Zay Jones at the 6 was overturned by a replay review. Allen’s final pass was off-balance, wobbly and underthrown, but Clay said he should have made the grab.“I just didn’t come down with it,” Clay said. “You’ve just got to catch it. I feel like I let everybody down.”Allen threw touchdown passes of 15 and 25 yards to Jones, and the duo also connected on a 2-point conversion. But Allen was intercepted twice by Xavien Howard and twice missed open receivers for potential scores.A muffed punt by the Bills’ Isaiah McKenzie led to the Dolphins’ second touchdown, which put them ahead 14-6.FIERY BILLSAfter the game, Phillips walked toward the Miami sideline and traded hugs with many of his former teammates.Meanwhile, Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes confronted an official in the tunnel near the locker room. Hughes accused the official of calling him a vulgar name.“I’ll catch you. I’ll catch you, guaranteed Tremaine Edmunds Jerseys Stitched ,” Hughes shouted, waving his index finger, as he was pulled away by Bills officials.Hughes later declined to elaborate on the reason for his anger.“I was angry?” he said. “I lost the game, so I am supposed to be angry.”INJURY REPORTBills C Russell Bodine left in the first quarter with a left leg injury and did not return.Dolphins reserve CB Cornell Armstrong left with a knee injury.UP NEXTThe Dolphins play host to AFC East New England on Sunday. The Patriots won the earlier meeting 38-7 in Week 4.The Bills play at home Sunday against the New York Jets, who lost an earlier meeting 41-10 in Week 10.
