Gronk bubbles with anticipation after 68th career TD

Published: Oct 24, 2016 at 05:30 AM

Rob Gronkowski scored the 68th touchdown of his career on Sunday against the Steelers.

That's a lot of touchdowns for a 27-year-old tight end. The score -- a 37-yard hook-up with Tom Brady -- moved Gronk into a tie with Stanley Morgan for the most touchdowns in Patriots history.

More importantly, the touchdown put the All-Pro on the doorstep of something magical in The World Of Gronk.

Nice.
