Like Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, Patriots receiver Wes Welker attempted an extra point today.
Unlike Suh, Welker made it.
The kick came after the Pats scored a touchdown to cut the score to 27-13. Welker’s extra point made it 27-14, without enough time for the Pats to move to 7-1.
Strangely, the move comes a day after we answered in the Week Nine PFT mailbag a question from a reader who’d like to see “regular” players kick the ball more often.
