"Gronkowski did little to mask his enthusiasm on Sunday after the Patriots outlasted the Broncos in a snowy defensive slugfest at Empower Field at Mile High, 10-7. "That was one of the best turnarounds in sports from where the Patriots were last year then going out and getting Mike Vrabel as their head coach and having this turnaround and going to the Super Bowl," Gronkowski said on Fox's broadcast ahead of the NFC title game. "Pats Nation: we're going back to the Super Bowl, baby. That's what I'm talking about.""
"Gronkowski was quick to credit team owner Robert Kraft for making the call to move on from Jerod Mayo after just one year as head coach - replacing him with former Patriots standout Mike Vrabel. "I can say this: that gold jacket is 100% waiting for [Robert Kraft] to go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame - there is no doubt about that," Gronkowski added. "One of the best owners in all of sports. I mean, he's going back to the Super Bowl.""
"New England - which posted back-to-back four-win seasons in 2023 and 2024 - earned a spot back in the Super Bowl after going 14-3 in the regular season and winning three playoff bouts against the Chargers, Texans, and Broncos. Several factors helped New England orchestrate a 10-win turnaround from last season, including Drake Maye's emergence as an MVP candidate, a strong draft, and a home-run free-agent class."
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski attended the NFC championship as Fox broadcasters and loudly praised the Patriots following New England's 10-7 win over the Broncos in a snowy defensive contest at Empower Field at Mile High. The Patriots finished 14-3 in the regular season and won three playoff games against the Chargers, Texans, and Broncos to reach the Super Bowl. The turnaround included Drake Maye's emergence as an MVP candidate, a strong draft, and impactful free-agent signings. Gronkowski credited owner Robert Kraft for firing Jerod Mayo after one year and hiring Mike Vrabel, and he lauded Kraft's franchise leadership.
