All is well in Foxborough these days as quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski are back on the same page.

Last week, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes to Martellus Bennett in a 33-13 win over the Cleveland Browns. On Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, the veteran quarterback found that other tight end. And Rob Gronkowski made sure everyone knew that he was back in the end zone.

Midway through the third quarter and his team leading 14-10, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was sacked for a safety by Dont’a Hightower. Just over two minutes later and Brady culminated a five play, 68-yard drive with a four-yard scoring toss to “Gronk,” giving Bill Belichick’s team the lead.

The talented tight end made sure everyone knew he had hit pay dirt courtesy of one of his signature spikes. We can assure you no footballs were harmed in the process.

It was Gronkowski’s first touchdown of the season but it’s pretty obvious that he’s ecstatic to have his regular quarterback. After missing the first two games, the veteran tight end hauled in 100-plus yards worth of passes for the second straight game – with Brady throwing him the football.

For the second straight week, the 17-year signal-caller threw for over 300 yards and three scores. With the duo of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski terrorizing defenses once again, it could be a very long year for a lot of defensive units around the league. Just ask the Browns and the Bengals.
