All week leading up to the Patriots' season opener, Steelers defenders talked about how physical they were going to be against tight end Rob Gronkowski.
The result: Gronk went for 94 yards and three touchdowns. He wasn't even covered on one TD connection.
Don't expect Gronk to get that kind of pass against Rex Ryan and the Bills this weekend.
Ryan was coy about his plans for the Patriots tight end at a press conference in Buffalo today — "I'm not going to get into how we're going to cover him," he said with a devilish smile — but it was clear that containing Gronkowski was high on his to-do list.
