Touchdown gets overturned, and Gronk just misses another chance at #3 , catching a ball out of bounds in the back of the end zone. #PITvsNE

You knew this was coming...

You can't stop Rob Gronkowski in the end zone.
You can't even hope to contain him. #GronkSpike x 3 #Kickoff2015 snpy.tv/1ERcLEU

With his 6th catch tonight, Heath Miller moved into 2nd place on the team's all-time receptions chart.
