DENVER – It was a devastating night for the New England Patriots, first on the scoreboard and then with what could be a serious right knee injury with tight end Rob Gronkowski.
The team’s 30-24 loss to the Broncos drops them to 10-1, but the bigger storyline is that Gronkowski was carted off with 2:49 remaining in the game after Broncos safety Darian Stewart, who was diving for a tackle, made contact with Gronkowski’s right leg. Gronkowski’s leg whipped back as it made contact with Stewart.
Potentially losing Gronkowski, a transcendent player at the position, would change everything.
