Buffalo Bills: Nathan Peterman was not named the starting quarterback for the Bills after a 47-3 loss Week 1 at Baltimore. "We are still evaluating the quarterback decision. We all have to do our jobs better and it starts with me," head coach Sean McDermott said. Peterman gave way to rookie Josh Allen with 11:22 left in the third quarter. Peterman completed 5 of 18 passes for 24 yards and two interceptions while being sacked three times. In his previous start last season at San Diego, he threw five interceptions in the first half.

The Bills host the Chargers in Week 2.

Miami Dolphins: Wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson were the lone NFL players to kneel during the national anthem during Sunday's Week 1 game. Head coach Adam Gase, who relented on a rule against kneeling last November, stood by his "I'm coaching football. I'm not dealing with this," position on Sunday. But unemployed quarterback Colin Kaepernick did offer support via Twitter. "They have not backed down, even when attacked and intimidated," he wrote of Stills and Wilson. "Their courage will move the world forward! Love is at the root of our resistance!"

New England Patriots: Undrafted rookie Ralph Webb could be moved from the practice squad to the 53-man roster as Jeremy Hill lands on injured reserve with a torn ACL in his right knee. In pursuit of Tyrann Mathieu after a turnover, Hill was drilled inadvertently by fullback James Develin. Webb had 31 carries for 102 yards and five receptions for 28 yards with three total TDs over four preseason games. Hill's final assessment of Webb during preseason could be telling. "Keep doing his thing and good things will happen for him," Hill said.
