Although Sanchez is much more accurate than Cassel on balls thrown 11-20 yards down field (57% compared to 44%), Cassel has greater accuracy on balls thrown 21-30 and 41+. (Neither has completed a 31-40).

All that means is Brees and Brady are having poor six-game stretches.

Meanwhile this is one of the best six-game stretches of Cassel's career.

The best restaurant in Kansas City is worse than the worst restaurant in San Francisco.

I'm going to update this thread in a couple days when the new splits come out, but I'm estimating that Cassels percentage will decrease this week. The only "downfield" completions he made against Buffalo were Moeaki's overtime catches and two of those were borderline 10-yard throws.
