PITTSBURGH -- New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's 36-yard touchdown reception midway through the third quarter was one of the key plays of Sunday’s 27-16 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.
It helped the Patriots re-establish momentum after the Steelers had sliced the lead to 14-13, and it also reflected why there was a large discrepancy in snap counts between Gronkowski (52) and fellow tight end Martellus Bennett (30).
