The Gronk Spike — Super Bowl LIII

February 3, 2019·vs vs Los Angeles Rams

Gronkowski caught a crucial 29-yard pass that set up the only touchdown in Super Bowl LIII — the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history. Even in a defensive struggle, Brady found Gronk when it mattered most. Three Super Bowl rings with Brady.

In the ugliest Super Bowl ever, Gronk made the play that mattered. Brady to Gronk — the most reliable connection in postseason history.

The Party Animal — 100+ TDs and Infinite Vibes

He won four Super Bowls, scored 100+ touchdowns, and had more fun doing it than anyone in NFL history. Gronk made being an all-time great look effortless.
