FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Does New England Patriots wide receiver Brandon LaFell deserve criticism for cutting off his routes twice in Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles?
LaFell's work in this area was highlighted by analyst Charles Davis twice during Sunday's broadcast on Fox.
First, there was a long incompletion up the left sideline at 9:36 of the first quarter, and this is what Davis said: "Watch Brandon LaFell, No. 19. He essentially stops his route. Tom Brady throws it deep. If he keeps running and gives himself an opportunity, there's probably a play on the football.
