The Buffalo Bills announced on Friday that they have signed quarterback Matt Barkley to a two-year extension through 2020.
Buffalo picked up Barkley as midseason insurance in late October with starter Josh Allen recovering from an elbow injury and backup signal-caller Derek Anderson in the concussion protocol.
With a struggling Nathan Peterman the only option left on the active roster at the time, Buffalo asked Barkley to start a road game against the New York Jets on November 11. He answered the call with 232 passing yards, two touchdowns and a 60-percent completion rate in a 41-10 win.
