[The Boston Channel] If the report out of Boston is true, Matt Cassel isn’t just the Chiefs’ quarterback. He is the Chiefs’ Pro Bowl quarterback.

Who would have predicted that?

Regardless, WCVB-TV in Boston is reporting that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is out of the Pro Bowl because of upcoming foot surgery, and Cassel will take his place. He will join offensive teammates Jamaal Charles, Dwayne Bowe and Brian Waters.

Cassel finished the regular season with 3,116 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
