Of Tom Brady's 44 completions this season, 20 have gone to Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski. Of his 78 passes, 32 were aimed at them.

"I've got to do a better job finding the other guys because it's a lot of good routes, they're big targets," Brady said Wednesday. "Guys are working really hard to get open. So, hopefully, it shows up this week in our pass game."

The discrepancy was most glaring in last Sunday's 30-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Edelman and Gronkowski caught 10 of the 13 passes aimed at them. The other wide receivers and tight ends caught just two of the five balls Brady threw toward them.

"We could certainly stand to get a lot more balance into our attack overall," Bill Belichick said. "We didn't have it in the run-pass ratio in Miami and we didn't really have enough of it in the passing game last week, or really for Miami for that matter."

"I have a lot of confidence in all our receivers and tight ends and backs in the passing game," offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said. "I would anticipate that we'll go forward and the ball will get distributed to a lot of those guys that can do a lot of good things with it."

Tom Brady is so accustomed to winning with a high degree of frequency during his time with the New England Patriots that his personal life is impacted by losses.

The Patriots lost to the Miami Dolphins in Week 1.

“We hate losing,” Brady said during his news conference on Wednesday. “It’s a terrible feeling. It’s a terrible feeling around here. It’s a quality of life issue I think we all face when we lose. 

“Hopefully that motivates us to go out there and have a great week of practice and be prepared for this game. And try to beat a very good team.” 

Rob Gronkowski played limited snaps in his first game back from his season-ending knee injury in 2013.

Gronkowski played 38 snaps, catching four passes for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Gronkowski was targeted by Tom Brady on 44 percent of his routes.

The Denver Broncos have the best odds at winning the 2014 Super Bowl, according to Football Outsiders.

Playing in the weaker AFC, the Broncos have a 28.7 percent change of reaching the Super Bowl and a 16.7 percent chance of winning that game.

The Seattle Seahawks rank second in probability of winning the Super Bowl at 9.8 percent, followed by the New England Patriots at 8.8 percent.

The New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers round out the top-five at 7.7 percent and 7.1 percent.

The San Diego Chargers, Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals have between a 5.8 percent chance and 4.1 percent chance of winning the Super Bowl.

Tom Brady appeared on the New England Patriots' injury report with a calf injury.

“Physically I had the day off, but I got a lot of extra film in," Brady told Jim Gray in an interview Thursday. "I got a lot of extra mental reps in and walk-throughs and such and I'll be ready to go Sunday."

Bill Belichick refused to elaborate on Brady's injury during his press conference on Friday.

Rob Gronkowski confirmed that he'll play for the New England Patriots in Week 1 at the Miami Dolphins.

Gronkowski, who underwent surgery on a torn right ACL on Jan. 9 and returned to full-team drills for the first time Aug. 18, did not play in the preseason.

Gronkowski has been one of the NFL's most productive tight ends whenever he's been on the field, but has had injury issues over the past few seasons.

"Super excited, super pumped. I feel mentally and physically ready, for sure. No doubt about it," Gronkowski said Monday. "My mentality now is I'm ready to go, I'm ready to be out there, I'm ready to hit, I'm ready to start going."
