Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan isn't looking forward to defending a New England Patriots offense that will boast two premier tight ends next season.

"It's scary" to see Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett on the same team, Ryan told reporters Tuesday.

"How we're gonna defend them, I don't know," he added.

The Patriots acquired Bennett from the Chicago Bears last week for a fourth-round draft pick. The Patriots also received the Bears' sixth-round pick.

Not since Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez were on the field together have the Patriots had a two-headed tight end monster of this caliber.

In 2011, Gronkowski and Hernandez combined to catch 169 passes for 2,237 yards and 24 touchdowns.
