NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest. With the Patriots in a 3 way tie for first with the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins, who would have thought the Pats would be depending on Matt Cassel?
Cassel has steadily improved since taking over for Tom Brady in the season opener, passing for 3,052 yards and 14 touchdowns while ranking among the AFC leaders in most statistical passing categories. He played well last weekend against the Seahawks, rallying the Patriots from an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter with a cool comfort that reminded many of Brady’s best work.
For that matter, who would have thought that Brett Favre would take the Jets to first place or that Miami would even be close to first place?
What a crazy division.
