Losman Improves For Bills
Mularkey has a harder choice now when he chooses his starting quarterback for Sunday when the Bills travel to San Diego looking for their first road win against the Chargers. J.P. Losman came off the bench against Kansas in the last game when Kelly Holcomb took a hit, and threw two touchdowns to rally the Bills to a 14-3 victory. Losman flopped during Buffalo's poor start and was then passed over in favor of Holcomb.
Mularkey said he that he would to monitor Holcomb's health through Tuesday and study more tapes of San Diego with his coaches before making the QB decision. If Holcomb is healthy and the coaches conclude Losman can't handle the things San Diego does defensively, Holcomb may get the nod. But if practice is limited for Holcomb - it could be Losman.
"We have to wait and see how Holcomb progresses each day, but how many reps he gets will have an impact on that decision, no question," Mularkey said.
While Losman's completion percentage was just 47.9 in the four games he started, Losman made nine of sixteen passes (56%) against the Chiefs, connecting with wide receiver Lee Evans on a pair of perfect touchdowns. Buffalo entered the game with only 7 pass plays of twenty yards or more for this season, but Losman ended up with four on the day.
