Week 2 - Match-up Of the Week

New England @ N.Y. Jets

The first game of the Matt Cassel era is here. For those of you who have been living under a rock the past week, Tom Brady suffered a season ending knee injury last Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Patriots offense was still functional following Brady's injury. Cassel led on a couple of nice drives including a bomb to Randy Moss for a touchdown on Cassel's first series of the season. You have to wonder just how well he will fare in is first start since high school against the Pats top rival in the AFC East.

From the Jets side, if you are a Jets fan you have to be licking you chops. Week 2, at home, Brett Farve as your quarterback, against a Brady-less Patriots team who you always get up to play anyway. If there was a opportunity for the Jets to make a statement as a true contender in the AFC East, today is the day.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Be sure to check WAY Back Sports for the latest developments in then NFL today as the game progress.
