“(The Falcons) have one of the best pass defenses in the league right now, and the Patriots’s bread and butter is passing, so put them together. Gronkowski isn’t playing who is the best receiver in the league once you get inside the twenty-yard-line. Once he gets the ball, there is a 98 percent chance he scores a touchdown in two plays. It’s statistics. With him out, their best receiver, particularly in the red zone, they’re dead in the water. It’s why the Patriots have suffered in games and won games, but if you watch, they struggle when they get close to the red zone because they don’t have Gronkowski, their bread and butter.
