The Buffalo Bills named Matt Barkley their starting quarterback for Sunday’s match against the New York Jets, pitting the journeyman against another backup, Josh McCown. The battle is sure to be an unforgettable event for the ages.
Speculation that Barkley could start this game began to fire up on Friday, as it was reported that Barkley, Nate Peterman, and Josh Allen had been taking equivalent reps through practice. Allen, finishing his recovery from a UCL sprain, threw a normal workload in practice, but has been ruled out for Sunday’s game.
