Rob Gronkowski made National Football League history on Sunday night

Safety Calvin Pryor wouldn’t comment when asked if he will see a lot of Gronkowski on Sunday. “When you’re watching them [on film], you are curious of how they view you”, Rodgers said.

There’s no easy way for opposing teams to cover Rob Gronkowski. “You know? Guys tend to play off of him and different things like that”. We do. But just as it’s important to make sure that everyone is on the same page prior to the snap, it’s also imperative that you don’t forget who you’re going up against. But he says the Jets could try to get physical with the tight end.

“We talked about that”, Brady said of the touchdown play. “You just have to jam him up a little bit, mess with his timing”, Shazier said.

Gilchrist, who used to play cornerback, said that he was assigned to cover Gronkowski several times while a member of the San Diego Chargers.

“We are going to try to get up in his face and do different things”, Pryor added. Since catching three touchdowns in the season opener against Pittsburgh, Gronkowski has scored just twice and has posted two 100-yard receiving games. He has targeted a receiver 20 yards or more downfield on only 8.1% of his passes, the league’s third-lowest deep-passing rate among starting quarterbacks. While he was faster than the Patriots tight end, the challenge was the significant size difference-Gilchrist is listed at 5-foot-10 and 198 pounds. However, if you take a step back, and look at the big picture, you soon realize that it was during this particular game that the Gronk joined some fairly exclusive company. And even if you do, there’s Julian Edelman to worry about, working crossing patterns and quick screens all over the field.

Jets defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers – whose unit is playing extraordinarily well – had his regular media powwow Thursday. After hearing the question, Rodgers laughed and said, “You just made my stomach want to throw up”. It’s just a team game. And that doesn’t count the plays on which a safety hovered farther behind the defender covering Gronkowski individually. He has 59 career receiving touchdowns and one rushing touchdown since entering the league as a rookie second-round pick in 2010.
