The Facts: Cassel will be the Dallas Cowboys' starting quarterback Saturday night against the New York Jets. JC Jason Garrett reconfirmed his commitment to Cassel for this week's game on Monday despite the veteran's 1-5 record as Tony Romo's replacement. "I think the evaluation is who gives us the best chance to win on Saturday night," Garrett said. "We still feel like Matt Cassel is that guy.

Diehards Line: For the season, Cassel has completed 116 of 196 passes for 1,239 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions. The Cowboys have scored just seven touchdowns in the 67 drives in which he has been the quarterback over seven games. The Cowboys return to the practice field Tuesday with a short week of prep time for the Jets, so Cassel’s experience over Kellen Moore could have played a part in the coaches’ decision.
