I'm still puzzled (though pleasantly so) on how other teams can seemingly not be prepared with their assignment to cover Gronk. I'm not sure if it is the New England offense confusing opponents because they are able to do different things from the same formation (as well as line up in so many different formations) resulting in being far more unpredictable than other teams, or if it says more about the other team's players and coaches. Regardless, I'll take it - and hopefully the trend continues.
