Points likely at a premium as Broncos visit Patriots

The New England Patriots and Denver Broncos are nearly 10 years removed from the final regular season meeting that pitted Tom Brady against Peyton Manning.

New England won that game 43-21 on Nov. 2, 2014, behind four passing touchdowns from Brady. If Sunday night's clash between Denver and the visiting Patriots proves anything, it might just be how much truly can change over the course of a decade.

Both offenses have fallen far from the perch they sat atop nine years ago, with New England's decline especially evident.

The Patriots (3-11) are averaging a league-worst 13.
