Cassel, Patriots Stomp the Dolphins

The Matt Cassel-Randy Moss combo was up and running in yesterday’s Patriots-Dolphins matchup, and the duo was an unstoppable force in New England’s big win over Miami. Avenging the loss they suffered back in September, the Patriots dominated the field to win 48-28 over the Dolphins, not letting that Miami Wildcat play get the best of New England once again.

Matt Cassel showed his improvement in the best of ways in yesterday’s game going 30-of-43 with 415 yards, his second back-to-back game with more than 400. Cassel became the first quarterback in the team’s history with two straight games throwing more than 400 yards, also the first QB in the league to do so since Tennessee’s Billy Volek in 2004. Randy Moss added to this excitement with three touchdowns and 125 yards, tying Indianapolis’ Marvin Harrison for the second in the league at 100-yard games, racking up his 59th. Pats receiver Wes Welker also chalked up more than 100 yards, and despite a fourth quarter melee between Miami linebacker Channing Crowder and New England tackle Matt Light, followed by a personal foul for unsportsmanlike conduct attributed to Miami’s Joey Porter, the Patriots still won the game in style, making up for their September loss in the only way they know how.
