The NFL announced on Monday afternoon that Rob Gronkowski has been suspended for one game after his egregious hit on the Bills’ Tre’Davious White during Sunday’s game in Buffalo.
Gronkowski and White were battling for the ball on a deep pass, and while White could have been flagged for pass interference – Gronkowski and his teammates were calling for a penalty – he was not.
White intercepted Tom Brady as he was falling backwards, and one of Gronkowski’s Patriots teammates touched the defensive back down. But then a couple of seconds later, while White was still on his belly clutching the football, Gronkowski came in, lowered his shoulder and jumped into the back of White’s head, an egregious and stupid move from the tight end.
