« Patriots receivers take pride in blocking | Main | No Excuses » January 28, 2008New England receivers don't fumbleOne remarkable stat that has gone overlooked this season is the fact that none of the Patriot receivers have lost a fumble this season. Patriots receiver Wes Welker said that the Patriots focus on the importance of ball security every day in practice because one turnover can mean the difference between a win and a loss. “I think it’s basically being conscience of it and making sure that we do take care of the football and that’s goal number one,” said Welker, who fumbled twice against Dallas but both times the Patriots recovered the ball. “We can’t turn the ball over. We just have to make sure that we do that on a weekly basis. It’s something that we focus on and concentrate on.” No team in the league had fewer turnovers than the Patriots in the regular season – 15 (nine interceptions and six fumbles). Their 15 turnovers were the fifth fewest in franchise history. Posted by Rob Lee CommentsI have also heard Wes Welker say that passes from Tom Brady never " lead me into trouble " . In other words Brady throws his passes in such a way and in a location that protects his receivers from being blindsided . Maybe that has something to do with no fumbles as well .
