Too early to have any clue. The season hasn't even started. I think Brady said it just last week, you don't really know what kind of team you have until December. For example, if Manning gets injured for the season in Week 1, will the Broncos be a top offense?

If the Pats lose Wilfork, Kelly, and Mayo to IR, will they be a good defense?

Based on what are admittedly just two stats that don't tell the whole story and have limited relevance to the 2014 season, here are the best and worst offenses that the Pats will face, based on 2013 numbers.
