Rob Gronkowski shouted The Day

The New England Patriots arrived of halftime of Saturday's divisional game contrary to the Baltimore Ravens with a touchdown deficit. The offense had been in the field with the opportunity to draw even at 21 and gain momentum for the half that is 2nd.

Unfortuitously, New England's very first drive for the half stalled early when end that is tight Gronkowski couldn't haul in a third-down pass from quarterback Tom Brady.

• During tonight’s Patriots/Ravens divisional round playoff game in Foxborough, Tom Brady hit Rob Gronkowski for a gain that is big. It was a play that is huge the Patriots, and would lead to a touchdown.

On second-and-goal, the Pats split Gronkowski wide towards the left. The Ravens lined up Hill — 6-1, 207 — opposite the All-Pro that is unanimous with help.

Brady respected that, held away his hand that is left in way and took the snap. Quick juke, cut inside on a slant, caught the touchdown.

It seemed simple because it had been.

• It didn't feel so excellent for the Ravens, whom took a lead that is 14-0 Gronkowski place their stamp on the overall game.

• After quarterback Tom Brady hit Gronkowski for 16 yards on a vital third-and-8, Brady returned to him again, as Gronkowski streaked up the seam for an increase that is 40-yard. 

Ravens defensive back Rashaan Melvin nearly pulled Gronkowski's pants down attempting to bring the 6-foot-6 down, 265-pounder. That play helped arranged the Patriots' first score, a Brady that is 4-yard scramble to cut the Ravens' lead in half.
