Patriots Stomp Broncos

Judging from the way Matt Cassel was playing last night, no one could have guessed that newspaper articles last week suggested the New England Patriots find a new quarterback. Haters got silenced as Cassel’s confidence grew yesterday, coming out of the Monday Night Football game after going 18-of-24 passing for 185 yards and three touchdowns. New England was back on its A game last night, soundly thumping a grieving Denver team 41-7 at Gillette Stadium.

Cassel played the best game of his career last night, but he wasn’t the only standout on the New England offense. Running back Sammy Morris posted up 138 yards running (a career high) and one touchdown before leaving with an injury, and No. 81 (wide receiver Randy Moss) led the receiving end with two touchdown receptions. The Patriots’ defense didn’t look too shabby, either, as safeties Brandon Meriweather and James Sanders combined with the rest of the mighty New England defense to pick five takeaways off the Broncos in yesterday’s game, abusing Denver QB Jay Cutler on their way to a decisive victory. Denver’s five turnovers cost them immensely (especially compared to New England’s zero,) and the Pats-Broncos matchup ultimately resulted in a giant boost of confidence for Patriots.
