But, most importantly, it is a core memory that the star player of several other such evenings carries with him in his heart. Although Rob Gronkowski has his fair share of celebratory evenings after winning the Super Bowl, one remains his favorite of all time.

Rob Gronkowski cites his number 1 SB game

Indulging more in his newfound hobby of attending several podcasts post-retirement, Rob Gronkowski, in his recent appearance in the Full Send podcast, spilled the beans on one of his favorite Super Bowl wins.

“I’ll go with the first one versus Seattle Seahawks because that was that got,” admitted Gronk. Mentioning the reason for it, he said, “It was one of the most memorable ones because it was one of the best Super Bowl games in the history of the Super Bowl as well.” 

Sure enough, the 43-8 score was the biggest gap in any Super Bowl score that the sport ever witnessed. Hence, the game came with its own mellow feeling in each fan’s heart. Alongside that, it marked the dusk of a new era for the Broncos.

Nevertheless, his Super Bowl ring with the Buccs against the Atlanta Falcons took up the spot of his second favorite one, his last Super Bowl game with the Patriots against the Rams, being the third. The final one on the fourth spot was his game with the Patriots particularly with Tom Brady, when they beat the Chiefs. Despite giving ranks to them, each win holds a special place in his heart, evidenced by the light in his eyes as he reminisced them.

Another remarkable matchup on its way to Gronk

To his dismay, the Super Bowl days are behind him now. Gronk has experienced the best of the games, even being a pivotal part of it, during his career. What he hasn’t checked off his list is reveling in a titillating game while being its host. Well, Gronk, being Gronk, didn’t need to stick around too long for it to turn into reality.
