Brady and Gronk is a tale as old as time…

The 90th touchdown came late in the third quarter. It was a fade towards the corner of the end zone. This was Gronk’s second touchdown of the day. “We go way back, back in the heyday with that connection,” said Gronkowski. “I would say that second touchdown definitely brought it back to the heyday with the fade. He gave me an audible, and I wasn’t supposed to have a fade, but he saw it, and it just reminded me of the heyday with us.” 

When Brady was informed about the nostalgic comments Gronk made about the second touchdown, he said, “Oh, really? I like the heyday,” 

Brady and Gronkowski still have a lot of gas left in their tanks to make more snaps together. 

 “I think so. It’s good to see him make those plays. He was out for quite a while this year, so just to see him back playing great and really enjoying it is fun for me. It’s fun seeing other guys play to their potential. He’s done an amazing job of that.” said Tom Brady.
