Rob Gronkowski scores 76-yard touchdown vs Giants (Video)
By Jack Crosby
Rob Gronkowski was held in check by the Giants for a little bit, but you know you can never really hold him down for all that long
Sunday night as the New York Giants are taking on the New England Patriots, Rob Gronkowski was held in check pretty well by the New York defense. As surprising as it was to see, he was being held back from making any big plays.
But, come on now, you really didn’t expect him to stay quiet for all that long, did you?
Nope, of course Gronk made some noise and he did so when it mattered the most. In the fourth quarter of this one with the Patriots down 23-17, Tom Brady found his favorite target over the middle, and with the help of some sloppy play from the Giants’ defensive backs, he was able to take it to the house for the 76-yard touchdown.
Again, it seemed like only a matter of time before the best tight end in the NFL got loose for something in this one, and really it could not have come at a better time. The Patriots are trying to keep their undefeated record intact and they needed this play mightily.
