A new special teams rule comes back to bite New England.
The return of otherworldly tight end Rob Gronkowski was supposed to open up the Patriots offense today, and he did make his impact felt throughout the game.
Brady targeted Gronk 17 times — more than twice the nearest Pats receiver — and he got burned right after halftime, when Antonio Allen picked him off for a touchdown return.
Then late in the game, Gronkowski would've have had a game-winning TD if he had only pulled in this catch. A tough one to pull off, but doable.
Bob Kraft may not have seen the play due to his abnormally large, vision-obscuring cufflinks.
