New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the 2008 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to a source familiar with the injury.
While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, two sources indicated it involved serious damage to the knee.
“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”
Brady was hurt as he stepped up in the pocket to make a throw to wideout Randy Moss. Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, who was on the ground, lunged forward and struck Brady’s leg, which buckled as he released the ball.
Brady was helped off the field and was later led down a staircase by team officials, presumably to undergo tests.
Fourth-year quarterback Matt Cassel, who had thrown just 39 passes in his career before Sunday, replaced Brady and completed 13 of 18 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. Cassel, who backed up Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC, hasn’t been a starting quarterback since high school. He won a competition with Matt Gutierrez during the preseason to retain the job as Brady’s primary backup.

Thank god
I only wish that Bernard Pollard would have broke a few of his bones to.
Call me horrible, I don't care. I am a Chiefs fan and started laughing until I cried when Brady went down
He is the most cocky arrogant guy in the world, karma was gonna get him sooner or later. I guess now he can quit being a drama queen and actually were a walking boot around New York without the media covering it for 2 weeks straight

Your a Cheifs fan, Man Karma been kickin' the Chiefs and their fans butts for near 40 years
Don't like brady much either, But I do like the NFL don't think it will be better without him. I'd much rather see him fail on the field.
