The New England Patriots pride themselves on never underestimating their opponents. This week brings nothing different.
In a conference call with the New York media, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski praised the Giants defense for their physical play.
“They’re just always running around, always around the ball, always being physical, high-energy type players that just look like they just love the game of football and they’re just playing for the love,” Gronkowski said.
The glaring stat to note is the Giants currently rank last in the NFL in total defense and have had trouble defending tight ends.
