NFL offenses

Quarterback Tom Brady proved all naysayers wrong when he returned from a four-game suspension to lead the Patriots to an exhilarating overtime Super Bowl LI victory.

Now that he’ll be around for 16 games, barring injury, the Patriots offense is well equipped to potentially outperform itself in 2017. Our apologies, in advance, to the rest of the AFC East.

Last season the Patriots offense finished No. 4 overall, sans Brady for the first quarter and tight end Rob Gronkowski for eight contests. As one of the most expertly-coached teams in the league, the Patriots are in a league of their own.

As for this offseason, re-signing running back LeGarrette Blount, who rushed for a league-high 18 touchdowns, would be a great thing. And, brilliantly, Bill Belichick traded for Cooks, who owner Robert Kraft recently compared to Randy Moss and who will undoubtedly be a fabulous tool for Brady.

Between Cooks, Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan, Gronk, Dwayne Allen (also acquired in a trade) and pass-catching back James White, the Patriots should have a field day steamrolling opponents in 2017.
