Rob Gronkowski's best NFL plays of all time
#5 - 2011 NFL Season - New England Patriots vs. Washington Commanders
The only moment from Gronkowski's career that made the top five plays from a regular-season game occurred in the 2011 NFL season when the New England Patriots faced off against the Washington Commanders. Gronkowski made what looked to be a routine catch into a highlight-reel run.
@PatsChatUK @NFLUK @RobGronkowski I gotchu!
From his best game in 2011, starting with manhandling the entire Washington defense down the sideline. https://t.co/JKrd7DKawk
This play demonstrates just how physically dominant Gronkowski was in his prime years. He breaks multiple tackles with ease as he picks up a ton of extra yardage after the catch.
#4 - 2015 AFC Championship Game - New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos
With the Patriots down by eight points with less than two minutes to go in their 2015 AFC Championship game against the Denver Broncos, they faced a crucial 4th down situation. Gronkowski kept the game alive in a spectacular way.
2015 AFC Championship: Brady hits Gronk in double coverage with the season on the line. Arguably the best throw in his career right here, pure filth. https://t.co/Fi3CWwN7Bl
Gronkowski got himself free up the seam for a 40-yard gain on 4th down with ten yards to go, setting up a potentially game-tying touchdown. He fittingly caught a touchdown pass a couple of plays later, but a failed two-point conversion attempt ended the comeback effort for the Patriots.
