In a game that really defined Matt Cassel as a starting quarterback, it was an undrafted rookie that really stood out. His name is Ben-Jarvis Green Ellis.
The rookie standout rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown in a 20-10 win, that should have been 20-3, but sloppy defense in the fourth quarter didn't let that happen.
The rookie commented after the game saying, "You never know. We're a game plan team, a personnel team. We just went out there and whatever worked we just stuck with it. I was happy to contribute and help us win today."
Another key to this game was the consistency of Wes Welker. Wes Welker has now caught at least six passes in each of his first nine games, setting an NFL record. This not only reflects the known talent of Welker, but the gradual and now defining talent of Matt Cassel.
Wes Welker commented on the success of Cassel by saying, "Yeah, he's done a great job. We wanted to come out and play well from the get-go and on that first drive we were able to do that. We just have to keep that going, keep that energy going, and make sure that every time we step out there we're trying to finish drives."
