by Dennis J. GeorgatosMatt Cassel is going to his first Pro Bowl.The Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback was added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster on Thursday after his former New England teammate, Tom Brady, had to withdraw because of a right foot injury.
Cassel was acquired by the Chiefs in a 2009 trade with New England following a standout year in which he stepped in for Brady after the Patriots' star suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 2008 opener.
At the Pro Bowl, he'll be reunited with his former New England coach, Bill Belichickk, whose staff is coaching the AFC squad.
Cassel, who led the Chiefs to a 10-6 finish and the AFC West title, will join three Kansas City teammates already named to the Pro Bowl: wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, running back Jamaal Charles and guard Brian Waters.
The game will be played Jan. 30 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.
