After nine long seasons and four diff erent head coaches in the NFL, the four-time Pro Bowler fi nally will play in his fi rst AFC championship game. “Defi nitely an amazing feeling,” Casey said. “Can’t ask the Lord for nothing else but to be able to play in the NFL and play in these type of moments and these type of games.” Casey has had to be very patient since being drafted in the third round out of Southern Cal in 2011.
