Bears at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes and stats

‘With the news coming down Saturday that Derek Anderson has been officially ruled out with a concussion, the Bills will turn to Nathan Peterman, again. Counting a brief playoff appearance last year, Peterman has thrown ten interceptions in only 84 career pass attempts, which has left many to wonder how he’s still on an NFL roster, much less in this position to be starting a game. But whatever circumstances led him here, the second-year QB may very well be playing for his career in this one.’

‘Now, I won’t go as far to predict the Bills to win on Sunday, because I don’t think they have enough offensive firepower to beat the Bears defense consistently.

‘Bills veteran linebacker Lorenzo Alexander may be the oldest player on the team, but he certainly isn’t playing like it. Alexander, a proven difference maker in Leslie Frazier’s unit, is leading the team in sacks with 4.5 this season and has put together two multi-sack games in the last three outings. A versatile player, Alexander will be looking to extend his sack streak this week against a tough Bears squad.’

Zay Jones reflects on past year & hopes Nathan Peterman can get offense on track

‘”(We have to) Support him and do the best we can to get his confidence going,” Jones said. “I’m not the type of person to say you can’t do something. I hate when people say I can’t do something. So I’m not gonna say that he can’t come back from this. There’s gonna be a great opportunity for him going in here against a good defense and prove what he can do. Hopefully get this thing on track and push it in the right direction.”‘

‘”He was the offensive coordinator of the Chiefs a year ago. So, you understand a little bit about the offense they’re using,” Campbell said. “It’s a lot of different personnel groupings, a lot of pre-snap movement, motion, a lot of option concepts, and it’s a very quarterback intensive offense.”‘
