Travis Kelce and Rob Gronkowski don’t line up against each other. But the AFC Divisional playoff game between the Chiefs and Patriots on Saturday in New England could turn on which tight end can outperform the other.
Gronkowski, the sixth-year pro, is considered the game’s gold standard. Earlier in the season, former Chiefs great Tony Gonzalez suggested Gronk could become the best tight end in the game’s history, beyond the likes of himself, John Mackey, Kellen Winslow and Shannon Sharpe.
But will Gronkowski be limited this weekend? He missed practice and spent time in a Boston hospital on Thursday getting treatment on an injured right knee.
