Cassel hurt, Chiefs in bad shape

August 30, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel injured his left leg after being dragged down from behind by Seattle’s Brandon Mebane  on his first pass attempt. He left the game and never returned.  Cornerback Brandon Flowers and wide receiver Devard Darling also got hurt in the Chiefs 14-10 loss.

Flowers earlier scored on a 28 yard interception that was tipped by first round pick Tyson Jackson for the Chiefs only touchdown.  Flowers would then leave with a shoulder injury.  Darling left limping on his left leg.  There weren’t many highlights in this game.  The Chiefs were 1 for 10 on third down conversions and Ryan Succop missed two field goals. 

As far as Cassel, who signed a six year, $63 million contract, he was set to play into the third quarter…he made it three plays.  His availability for the Governor’ Cup in St. Louis is not known.  Tyler Thigpen battling with Matt Gutierrez for the number three spot went just 8 of 15 for 56 yards.  Gutierrez was 10 of 13, but he got picked off twice.

The Chiefs gained 260 total net yards, while Seattle ranked up 406 behind an impressive night from Matt Hasselback who was 19 of 25 for 216 yards and two touchdowns after the Flowers pick and score.
