UPDATED FACTS are bolded within the quotes.

Cassel 3:16
Quote:
Matt Cassel is 18-23 in his 41 career starts with the Chiefs.
He is 14-6 in games where we ran the ball more than we threw it.
He is 1-1 in games where rushes and passes were equal. Philip Rivers gifted us one win with a fumbled snap. We lost one other game where Matt Ryan made Cassel cry.
However, in an NFL that is classified as a passing first league, he is 3-16 when we put the ball in the air more than we run it.
These games are - 2009 Steelers, 2009 Raiders, 2011 Vikings. The Chiefs have averaged 19.3 points in these wins. Gus threw 3 TD total.
