Patriots receiver Wes Welker told the Boston Herald that he regrets his subtle dig at Jets coach Rex Ryan, which got him benched for the first series of his team's playoff loss to New York. "Yeah, sure I do," Welker, who mentioned feet several times in a press conference two weeks ago, told the Herald. "I'm not going to get into any details about it, but I don't think it's worth putting coach [Bill Belichick] in that situation," he said. "So in a sense, I do regret it. ... As much as you might want to get enticed into that stuff, at the end of the day, it's just not worth it." Belichick benched Welker for the team's first offensive possession of the game as punishment for the zinger, though the receiver did field a punt before New England's offense took the field for the first time.
