New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski finished with eight catches for a game-high 144 yards and a touchdown in a 20-18 loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 24.

Footballguys View: The Broncos struggle against the tight end position, and Gronkowski is arguably the best in the game at that spot. It’s no surprise that he was able to come through for the Patriots.
