Wes Welker came into today leading Houston’s Andre Johnson by 4 catches for the NFL’s reception lead, but Johnson has taken over, and it looks like it will be tough for Welker to catch up.
Johnson today against Chicago has 8 catches for 122 yards, while Welker has just 1 catch. The conditions here in Buffalo, obviously, are contributing to that. With the Pats up by 10, most likely they will continue to run the ball and stay away from the pass, so Welker will probably be behind Johnson when the day ends.
