Instead, the once-prized pupil will play the role of nemesis when the Kansas City Chiefs host their longtime rivals this Sunday in an AFC West clash from Arrowhead Stadium. Cassel took over for injured superstar Tom Brady and capably kept McDaniels' offense among the NFL's most potent units when both were members of the New England Patriots last season, with McDanie |
