Bills backup quarterback Jeff Tuel was forced into action in Week 5 against the Browns Thursday, and the rookie's first NFL action did not go well in a 37-24 loss.
Tuel entered the game after EJ Manuel suffered a knee injury in the third quarter, with the ball on the 1 yard line. Fred Jackson would score on the next play, representing the only time the Bills would score with Huel under center.
Huel led the team on six drives, four of which ended in punts. The others ended on turnovers, one on downs and the other on an interception returned for a touchdown.
Huel finished the game with 80 yards on 8 of 20 passing. The Bills have a few extra days off before their next game thanks to the Thursday start to Week 5, which could end up giving Manuel enough time to come back. If not Huel could start his first game in Week 6 against the Bengals.
