Cowboys bench QB Matt Cassel in favor of Kellen Moore

The Dallas Cowboys benched Matt Cassel Saturday night in favor of Kellen Moore. The move was made in the second quarter after Cassel went 4-of-9 for 36 yards. He also threw an embarrassing interception and suffered a 19-yard sack on his final drive. Moore went 15-of-25 for 158 yards, threw one TD and three interceptions.

FANTASY ANALYSIS

Cassel's interception was so bad that he was flagged for intentional grounding while Darrelle Revis was running down the field with the ball. Moore was definitely a shot in the arm for the offense. After throwing an INT on his first pass, he actually looked decent aside from one mistake in the end zone.
