On Wednesday, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady criticized New England's fan base for leaving early during the Patriots season opening 38-24 triumph over Cincinnati last Sunday.
When asked today what he thought about the Patriots fan base, Welker said: "I think I would like to see our crowd get into it a little bit more and really become almost like a 12th man, but at the same time we [have] to go out there and play well and give them something to cheer for."
