Welker: 'Nice to stick it in [Belichick's] face'

Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker has been known to get on the wrong side of coach Bill Belichick for his wisecracking ways. But the receiver, playing on a one-year contract and with an uncertain future in New England, didn't hold back after Sunday's 31-21 victory over the Broncos.

Speaking on a postgame show on CSNNE, Welker was asked about catching 13 passes and how that compared to Week 1, when his playing time was limited and he caught just three passes.

"Yeah, it's kind of nice to stick it in Bill's face once in a while," a smiling Welker said with a wink of his eye. "So this is definitely a good one."
