Suspension coming for Gronk? Why it's possible

Given the relatively quick trigger NFL officials have had on player ejections this season, I was really surprised that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski did not get thrown out of Sunday's 23-3 victory over the Buffalo Bills.

So was former NFL officiating Dean Blandino, who said in a Twitter video that Gronkowski should have been disqualified after his cheap shot on Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White. Blandino went on to speculate that Gronkowski could "maybe" be in line for a suspension.

From the top, I think referee Gene Steratore erred by not kicking Gronkowski out of the game.
