Preparing for Gronkowski reminiscent of Shannon Sharpe for Phillips
The connection between quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski is a daunting matchup for any team. Brady's accuracy paired with Gronkowski's size, hands and speed make for one formidable combination, and stopping them has been no easy task.
However, Buffalo had the most success of anyone this season, holding Gronkowski to just 37 receiving yards on Monday.
"[Buffalo doubled him] some. They didn't all the time. He's a great player and you have to be aware of him," Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips said.
