Saturday Sports Update
Top left: Nathan Peterman says he's excited about getting another chance to start for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but how much excitement will he provide? Peterman has attempted 32 passes with one touchdown and four interceptions and a woeful passer rating of 20.8 this season for a team who offense has been...well, anemic. Peterman will likely start under center on Sunday against the Chicago Bears after Derek Anderson sat out Friday's practice, still dealing with a concussion. Photo by the Buffalo Bills
Top right: Rumors about Clayton Kershaw's departure from Los Angeles can be put to bed now. On Friday, the Dodgers announced that they have signed their ace to a three-year extension worth a reported $93 million, replacing the last two years on his current contract. Kershaw went 9-5 with a 2.73 ERA in 2018, helping lead the Dodgers to a second consecutive World Series appearance. Photo by USA Today
