Nine seasons and three Vince Lombardi trophies are enough reason to say that no football combo has gotten close to what Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski has shown in the field, and will soon unravel in future seasons now that Gronk is officially back in business.
When news broke out that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady’s home this season, found its best new addition in Gronkowski, the whole football community was nothing but electrified.
With Brady and Gronkowski crossing paths yet again and reuniting at the Sunshine State, now is the perfect time to look back on their best moments that made football history. Here are some of the most monumental highlights from Gronk and Brady’s Best NFL Plays.
Super Bowl LII - The outstretched catch
Rob Gronkowski pulled off one of, if not the most amazing finger-tip grabs we’ve seen in NFL history. The Pats were having a hard time keeping up with the Eagles even with Brady pulling all the stops to support the tight end, and all it took was for Gronk to leave both his arms and feet outstretched to make a solid catch that would give them a massive push in the fourth quarter. They ended up losing the trophy, but still, that outstretched catch is definitely one for the books.
2015 AFC Championship - All out for a late shot
This list of Gronk and Brady’s Best NFL Plays is lacking if we’re not including that iconic stumbling grab by Gronk for 40 yards. That, and the 29-yard strike down the middle and, of course, the touchdown from the backline of the end zone. The two went all out in an attempt to have a shot at earning a Super Bowl ticket late in the game against the Denver Broncos, who eventually won the championship, but the real victory is us witnessing Brady and Gronk work to turn things around and switch up the scoreboards.
Super Bowl LIII - Triumphant exit
I think we can all agree that Gronk’s last campaign with the Patriots is one of the most prolific career plays we’ve seen thus far. Among Gronk and Brady’s Best NFL Plays, Super Bowl LIII with the Rams has got to be at the top tier.
Like clockwork, the two managed to achieve the only touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter, considering that both teams only had one field goal left on the board to work with. This earned Gronk and Brady their third Super Bowl rings, and a marvelous exit for Gronk who initially decided to retire after the season. But obviously, things have changed and with the current setup, it’s highly possible we’ll be seeing a lot more stellar moments from the power duo.
