Saturday Sports Update
Top left: He was best known as the voice of college football on ABC. Known for his annual broadcast of what he called "The Granddaddy of Them All" -- the Rose Bowl -- and his signature catchphrase, "Woah, Nellie!" And he was even the original play-by-play man for "Monday Night Football" when it debuted in 1970. Hall of Fame broadcaster Keith Jackson passed away Friday night at the age of 89.

Under Dennison, the Bills' offense in 2017 still ran the ball effectively, but their passing attack was among the NFL's worst, ranking 31st in the league in passing yards. Photo by buffalobills.com
