FOXBOROUGH — Rob Gronkowski says he hasn’t thought about the controversial overturned touchdown from the last time the Patriots and the Steelers met.
“We haven’t brought it up or anything this whole week,’’ he said Thursday. “We’ve just been focusing on the game this Sunday.’’
Winless against the Patriots since October 2011, coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers had a chance to snap their ignominious streak in Week 15 last season. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and tight end Jesse James appeared to connect for the go-ahead 10-yard touchdown with 28 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, but following a review of the play, officials ruled the reception no good.
