Cassel leads Patriots over Favre, Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel throws a pass during the first quarter of an NFL football game against the New York Jets Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Cassel completed 16 of 23 attempts for 165 yards, leading the Patriots to a 19-10 win over the Jets.

Life without Tom Brady might not be so bad for New England after all. Matt Cassel was efficient running the offense in his first NFL start, taking over for the injured quarterback and leading the Patriots over Brett Favre and the New York Jets 19-10 on Sunday. “I thought Matt did a good job,” coach Bill Belichick said.
