New England Patriots: 3 players who need to come back strong after bye week
By Sam Minton
1. Rob Gronkowski
We are used to seeing Rob Gronkowski make amazing catches and celebrate in the end zone. That hasn’t happened a lot this season.

Gronkowski’s play has dropped off considerably in 2018. Gronk hasn’t reached the end zone since Week 1 and hasn’t had over 100 yards receiving since then either.
For a guy who we are used to seeing dominate this season has been disappointing. The Patriots need Gronk to play better.
It seems like the Patriots need to rethink how they use Gronkowski. Maybe they should focus on getting him the ball in open space instead of trying to throw the ball deep.
I am expecting Gronkowski to be better after the bye. Gronk needs to rest and get healthy. Once he does that we should see Gronkowski dominating opposing defense’s.
With Gronk playing great again the Patriots should be able to put up points and run away with games.
