Former New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel had a hilarious response when answering a question asking about the biggest “He’s HIM” moment in sports.
Cassel went into the Patriots vault and shared a video of one of his most memorable plays with the team against the rival Buffalo Bills. It occurred during the 2008 season, when Cassel took over as the starting quarterback after Tom Brady tore his ACL.
The Patriots were on the road and ahead 13-0 late in the fourth quarter. It was 3rd-and-8 on the Patriots’ side of the field. However, instead of risking a conversion, New England called a punt play that Cassel nailed to perfection.

Cassel had a stellar career with the Patriots, and his best year came in that 2008 season. He went 327-of-516 that season, throwing for 3,693 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The Patriots went 11-5 and narrowly missed the playoffs.
Cassel had an active NFL career, but this highlight may be the one that stands out the most.
