LeSean McCoy says Buffalo Bills players were shocked to hear the team was benching Tyrod Taylor in favor of rookie Nathan Peterman.

Sean McDermott had publicly said that Taylor would remain the starting quarterback.

"I think everybody was kind of surprised," McCoy said. "Nobody really knew until [Wednesday]. We've been struggling, I think everybody has been struggling the last two weeks so we were a little surprised. ... We're all together. We're not playing well, from [Taylor] to me, guys up front, other playmakers, we're not playing well together on offense."
