Peyton Manning has taken over 70% of his snaps from the shotgun in each of the last two seasons with the Broncos. In Gary Kubiak's offense in 2014, Joe Flacco took only 23% of snaps from the shotgun.

Could the Lions have the NFL's top receiving tandem in 2015? While Calvin Johnson was limited due to injury (ankle) in 2014, Golden Tate enjoyed a breakout season with 99 receptions, 1,331 yards and 4 touchdowns. Even with Johnson missing three games, the duo of Johnson and Tate ranked top 5 in the NFL in receptions and receiving yards.

The Packers blew a 19-7 lead in the fourth quarter of the 2014 NFC Championship. Sixteen teams have blown a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter of a playoff game. Of the previous 14, only 4 rallied to make the playoffs the next season , and only 8 had a winning record the next season.

The Chiefs had the fewest receptions, yards, and touchdowns by wide receivers of any team in the NFL last season. Is Jeremy Maclin the answer? In 2014, Maclin had his first 1,000-yard season, and was one of 10 players with 1,000+ receiving yards and 10+ receiving touchdowns last season.

Since 2001, the Patriots are 10-5 without Tom Brady starting. How will Jimmy Garoppolo fare in the starting role? Brady and Garoppolo are separated by 14+ years in age, 207 career starts, and over 7,000 NFL pass attempts.

In adding Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie, the Jets brought back two of the best defenders at stopping AFC East rival Tom Brady. Brady has a win pct of .600 vs Jets with Cromartie and Revis -- he has a win pct of .818 in all other games against the Jets. Revis (69.6%) and Cromartie (68.1%) are two of the three active defensive backs against whom Brady has a passer rating below 70% despite 30+ targets (including playoffs).

Amari Cooper is the highest-selected wide receiver by the Raiders in the common era (since 1967). The previous highest was Tim Brown, who was selected sixth overall in 1988. Since that 1988 draft, the Raiders have drafted 24 receivers (not including Cooper). Brown is the only one to record a 1,000 yard season with the team. With 124 receptions, 1,727 yards and 16 TDs during his 2014 season at Alabama, can Cooper break that streak?

In the Russell Wilson era (since 2012), the Seahawks have not had any player record a 1,000-yard season or catch more than 70 passes in a season. With the addition of Jimmy Graham, that could change. Graham has two 1,000-yard seasons, and four seasons with 70+ receptions. He leads all tight ends in receptions (256), yards (3,056), and TD (35) since 2012.
