FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- On a day that the Buffalo Bills’ best revenge would have been beating tight end Rob Gronkowski and the New England Patriots, it turned out Gronkowski was simply more than they could handle.
Coming off arguably the best game of his eight-year career the week before in Pittsburgh, Gronkowski dazzled again in a 37-16 victory that puts the Patriots one victory away from earning home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.
His 17-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter might have been the best of his career, as he reached up with his right arm while tightly covered by safety Micah Hyde in the front left-hand corner of the end zone, snaring it with one hand while also somehow keeping his feet in bounds.
