Tom Brady sticks up for Brandon LaFell

After Brandon LaFell dropped six passes in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Jets, the wide receiver took plenty of criticism. This morning, his quarterback, Tom Brady, responded to those critics on the Dennis & Callahan Show on WEEI.

"Everyone has confidence in (LaFell)," Brady said. "It was his first game back, and those weren't all easy catches. Some may have hit his hands but they weren't right in the sweet spot. I think for all of us, it's getting back into the football mode and dealing with the game speed and so forth. But I've got a lot of confidence in (LaFell) and what he's been able to do.
