CBS SPORTS, NFL PREVIEW: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

 OK, OK. Let's put it this way. Thanks to an offense that was one of the deadliest in the league, New England went 13-3 and was an Eli Manning drive away from winning Super Bowl XLVI. As per usual under coach Bill Belichick, New England will have to replace a few key elements to the attack, but the Patriots can take some solace in this: They have one of the best quarterbacks in history, they have the most prolific receiver of the last five years, and they have the two best tight ends around.
