Josh Allen will become the second rookie quarterback from the class of 2018 to start when the Buffalo Bills play the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, league and team sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen on Wednesday.
Bills coach Sean McDermott is expected to make it official later Wednesday.
The decision by McDermott and his staff came after a full evaluation of Sunday's 47-3 road loss to the Baltimore Ravens, sources said.
Allen's athleticism and ability to make intermediate throws were plus-factors and the staff believes it will enable the run game to enjoy more success, sources told ESPN.
While the offensive line was dominated by the Ravens, sources said the evaluation of Sunday's game also assigned three sacks to starting quarterback Nathan Peterman, who moves into the backup role behind Allen.

Smart decision. They will be much better under allen. Wouldn't be surprised to see a shootout this week.

I think this does wonders for Benjamin. Keep an eye on him

finally made it to the playoffs last year and then they took so many steps backwards as an organization. may be the worst team in the nfl this year, certainly among the bottom feeders. might as well start allen since the team is awful.

Here is Peterman did last time against Chargers. Combine that with the loss against Ravens

Good Luck today Josh:

For the second consecutive season against the Chargers, Buffalo will employ a quarterback starting his first NFL game. The Bills have to hope this one goes a little better. It would be nearly impossible for it to go any worse. Last November, Nathan Peterman was intercepted five times before being benched at StubHub Center. Josh Allen, a rookie first-round draft pick, will start this time, his most recent start coming roughly nine months ago in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl against Central Michigan. In their season-opening loss, the Bills — with Peterman starting and Allen relieving — completed just 11 of 33 passes for 70 yards. As a point of reference, two players (Green Bay’s Randall Cobb and Miami’s Kenny Stills) had more than 70 yards receiving in Week 1 on single plays. In losing to Baltimore 47-3, Buffalo also somehow managed to get almost nothing from standout running back LeSean McCoy. He finished with seven carries for 22 yards and caught one pass for minus-one yard. It was not surprising then that the Bills finished two for 15 on third-down conversions and with 10 first downs. Buffalo, unlike the Chargers, was a playoff team last season. Their season opener, however, looked more like a team rebuilding from rock bottom.
