FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – For three years, Matt Cassel studied at the side of the master while waiting to play. Now, Tom Brady’s lessons are paying off.
Cassel has had an outstanding season and his Kansas City Chiefs (10-6) are in the playoffs for the first time in five years. They play at home Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens (12-4).
Cassel joined the Patriots as a seventh-round draft choice in 2005 and said Brady has been a mentor to him since then. They even spoke on Tuesday when Cassel asked about the Ravens, who the Patriots had beaten in their fifth game.
Brady gave some advice but said he kept some secrets to himself. The Patriots and Chiefs could meet in the second round of the playoffs. New England (14-2) has a bye this week.
