Jets were only ones not happy to see ‘difference-maker’ Gronk back

Gronk is back. More importantly, his trademark touchdown spike is back, and it was as explosive as ever.

Tom Brady found Rob Gronkowski in the middle of the field for a 34-yard Gronk TD special with 1:11 left in the first quarter of the Patriots’ 27-13 win over the Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium as the Patriots fans in the crowd let out a roar. That play tied the game at 7-7.

The Jets were in two-deep coverage and Gronk beat linebacker Avery Williamson down the middle as Morris Claiborne was late to help.
