GRONK's third TD, analyzed on Reddit

First off: hat-tip to @Big-T for posting this.

It's got the endzone view, the sideline view (GIFs), and more.

What amazes me in looking back at this is that what at first looked like an odd decision (why go towards the center of the end zone rather than straight ahead?) actually turned out to be brilliant (if he had just continued straight ahead, he would have gotten maybe five more yards before getting gang tackled).

People love to dish out hate on players, but some are pretty darn smart on the field

Knowing Gronk, he would have most probably carried the entire group of defenders into the endzone with him..

But yes, it looks like taking this angle completely screwed over that one Bears defender that was closing in pretty fast on him.

Stork and Wendell taking care of business. I like it.

Also check out Connally, running 50 yards downfield on the play. Nice effort.

He was just polishing up his kick return skills.
