2/06 KFFL.com Hot off the Wire: Patriots | Wes Welker feels he let team down: New England Patriots WR Wes Welker said he let the team...[+] down dropping a key third-down pass in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLVI. 'It's a play I never drop. I always make it. And in the most critical situation, I let the team down,' Welker said following the game. Welker led the NFL with 122 receptions during the regular season and caught the first seven passes thrown to him during the Super Bowl. The eighth pass was the critical drop, as it went off his hands with less than four minutes to play. The drop led to the Patriots punting to the New York Giants, who would march down the field for the go-ahead touchdown. In Welker's defense, it was a tough play, as he had to twist midair to adjust to the pass. 'The ball is right there. It's one I'll have to live with,' Welker said. 'We just couldn't connect. I'll keep throwing the ball to him for as long as I possibly can,' Brady said of Welker.
