KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Matt Cassel is in bounceback mode. At least he’s still on his feet.
The Kansas City quarterback is heading into Sunday’s playoff game against Baltimore one week after getting whacked around and abused worse than any other time all year, not counting emergency surgery.
In a 31-10 loss to Oakland that ruined the Chiefs’ perfect home record, Cassel was sacked five times, intercepted twice and harried and hurried all day long.
He went into the game with 27 touchdown passes and only five interceptions and came out with 27 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. His quarterback rating of 19.1 was less than half of his previous season low, and more than 100 points worse than what he’d done the week before against Tennessee.
