According to Radio Station WEEI, Tom Brady has a torn ACL. According to Yahoo Sports, Tom Brady will miss the rest of the season.
Brady was hurt as he stepped up in the pocket to make a throw to wide reciever Randy Moss. Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, who was on the ground, lunged forward and struck Brady’s leg, which buckled as he released the ball.
Brady was helped off the field and was later led down a staircase by team officials, probably to undergo tests.
Matt Cassel came in and relieved Tom Brady, and looked pretty good in relief.
What is it about the Cassel brothers coming in to relieve someone today? While Matt relieved Tom Brady in the game, Jack Cassel, Matt's Older brother, relieved Houston Astros Pitcher Wandy Rodriguez after he left the game with a right oblique strain. Jack helped lead the Astros to a 7-5 win over the Colorado Rockies.
What are the chances of two backup brothers lifting their teams on the same afternoon?
“I can guarantee you that’s never happened in the history of sports before on the same day,” Houston’s Darin Erstad said. “Great job by Jack, and Matt as well. Great day for the Cassel family.”
Obviously, this is a HUGE INJURY FOR THE PATRIOTS AND THE NFL!!! The Face Of the NFL Is on the Shelf for the season, but do not fret Patriots fans. Matt Cassel will be a formidable backup.
Taking a look at the NFL Schedule next week, Who Do The New England Patriots Play Next Week? The New York Jets. And I Remember when I wrote on my blog about a month ago "The New England Patriots will not go 16-0 again this season. Brett Favre will make sure of it." Next week, We'll see if Favre turns out to be the killer of the Patriots undefeated Streak.
