The veteran QB totaled 1,807 passing yards, 11 TDs, 9 INTs for a 81.6 QB rating in his lone season for the Vikings. He connected on the Vikings 4 longest pass plays of the season (79t, 70t, 57t & 51). The USC product started and threw for 382 yards, the most by a Viking in 2010, 2 TDs and 1 INT in the 48-30 upset victory over the playoff-bound Philadelphia Eagles (12/15). The 48 points against Philadelphia marked the highest offensive output in Metrodome history. Cassel was awarded the FedEx Air Player of the Week for his performance against the Eagles.
