Rob Gronkowski Becomes 5th-Fastest to 70 Receiving Touchdowns

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski recorded 89 receiving yards and one touchdown on eight catches during Sunday's 36-33 victory over the Houston Texans. In doing so, he became the fifth-fastest player in NFL history to record 70 receiving touchdowns, per NFL Communications.

Gronkowski required just 91 games to accomplish the feat, and each of the four players to achieve the feat faster has been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That list includes Lance Alworth (80 games), Jerry Rice (81 games), Don Hutson (85 games) and Randy Moss (89 games).
