Rob Gronkowski Criticizes Patriots For ‘Absurd’ Reaction After Beating Bills

The New England Patriots celebrated their Week 7 win over the Buffalo Bills, but former tight end Rob Gronkowski didn’t like any of it. Head coach Bill Belichick and his team finished the game against their divisional rival with a 29-25 score. Let’s just say it was an important game to win!

Gronk is out of the football field, but he follows every move the Patriots make. He finished his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and his recent comments won’t sit well with Patriots fans.

“But if you ask me, that celebration was pretty ridiculous, Chung,” Gronk told Patrick Chung on “Up & Adams” regarding the postgame celebration. “Whenever we celebrated just a little bit, we would get hounded. They just won one game and they celebrated like more than we would when we won a Super Bowl.”

 If you ask Gronk, he will say this was “one of the most absurd celebrations.” Well, we wouldn’t really agree on this one. The Patriots needed this win and everyone tried their best shot, including quarterback Mac Jones.

Chung didn’t agree with Gronk on his take. He reminded the former tight end that this was a must-win for the Patriots. This win better hype the Patriots to win more games in the next period.

“Times are different, Gronk, you know that,” Chung said. “I mean, younger kids, and at the same time bro, it’s a division win, very much needed, so that’s a big booster for the team, so whatever they got to do, celebrate all you want to, just win some more games.”

Mike Reiss put things in a different perspective. According to his records, the Patriots have scored a TD with 15 seconds left of the game in three games.

Via @EliasSports, in the last 30 years, the Patriots have had 3 games in which they scored a go-ahead receiving TD with less than 15 seconds left:

🏈 '98: Bledsoe to Coates (0:00 vs. Bills)
🏈 '13: Brady to Thompkins (:05 vs. Saints)
🏈 '23: Jones to Gesicki (:12 vs. Bills)

New England entered the game with a 1-5 record and things had to change for the better. Celebrate? Yes, why not?

 “Let the kids have fun. If it’s going to boost their morale or get them going, you know, in the right direction, then I’m all for it.”
