Rivers did throw the ball 17 more times than Cassel did, and we were in zone for most of the second half thanks to the lead. Not that I think Cassel would've gotten 200 more yards with 17 more attempts, but let's not lose sight of Rivers' 9-17 for 77 yard first half, when the KC defense was being a little more aggressive.
(That's not excusing Cassel, it's just looking at the situational layout of the game...)
