Matt Cassel Starts For Detroit
6 years agoDetroit Lions quarterback Matt Cassel drew the start for the team's preseason opener, as Matthew Stafford did not dress. Cassel completed 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards. He was also sacked three times. He led the first three drives until the Lions scored a touchdown in the second quarter. Jake Rudock then replaced him for the majority of the game until Cassel was brought back out for the team's last drive when they trailed 16-10. Then with just 25 seconds remaining and Detroit driving down the field, Cassel was sacked and he fumbled. Oakland recovered it, ending Detroit's chances.
