FOXBOROUGH – Despite Sunday night’s devastating loss, more than 200 devoted fans erupted in cheers when the New England Patriots pulled into Gillette Stadium this afternoon on six team buses. As players and coaches retrieved their baggage, fans could be heard shouting words of encouragement, including “Don’t worry, Welker, you did good!” -- a reference to wide receiver Wes Welker, who dropped a key pass late in the game. A handful of players and coaches waved to the crowd, including Welker, head coach Bill Belichick, and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was not seen alighting from any of the buses.
