Once again, a team enters the week talking about how they are going to put an emphasis on stopping Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. However, come game day, Gronkowski still steps up and dominates. Gronkowski is the single biggest mis-match in the NFL, and at this point, an argument could be made for him being the best player in the entire league.

When it comes down to it, nobody can cover Gronkowski one-on-one, and even when teams try to throw two or even three guys on him, he is still able to make plays. With incredible size, strength, speed and athleticism, Gronkowski is as good as it gets.

He continued his dominance on Sunday with a seven-reception, 113-yard performance against the Bills, leading the Patriots in receiving yards. Gronkowski also scored his fourth touchdown of the season early in the second quarter, on a two-yard pass from Brady. Gronkowski simply motioned out wide, and ran a square in against single coverage.

Bills’ star corner Stephon Gilmore was lined up on Gronkowski on the play, and stood no chance. Just another day in the office for Gronkowski, but he was dominant once again.
