A new single-game TD record

Rob Gronkowski has scored plenty of touchdowns in his career. In 8 seasons he has scored 76 touchdowns which is 3rd among all tight ends. By the end of his career, Gronkowski may have the most touchdowns by a tight end when he decides to call it a career.

This season I expect Gronkowski to do something he has never done before, score 4 touchdowns in a single game. In 2015 Gronkowski put up 3 touchdowns against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

My prediction is that this will happen in Week 3. The Patriots will be headed to Detroit and I think Gronkowski will dominate. The Lions are not a good team and I think Tom Brady will tear the defense apart. Gronkowski will get plenty of targets and he will score a touchdown in each quarter.

I wonder how many different Gronk spikes the tight end will break out in the Sunday night game.
