Gronk goads the GOATWhilst the greatest NFL quarterback of all-time stood pat on his decision to sit on the fence, having sent a warning on Friday stating that he didn’t want anyone to ask him to pick any sides, Gronkowski didn’t shy away from siding with the Boston outfit. Ahead of announcing that he was behind Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye’s Patriots over Baker Mayfield‘s Bucs, Gronkowski also revealed that he would finally be retiring with New England.“Here’s some news first everyone. I am signing a one-day contract with the Patriots this week coming up to retire as a Patriot and be a Patriot for life just like all of you out here,” Gronkowski announced. “So I’m going with the Patriots [to win]. But I know Tom, and he is still bitter that the Patriots let him go for his final three seasons in the NFL. So he’s secretly rooting for the Buccaneers.”The seven-time Super Bowl champion fired back a response, in which he also sent warning shots to the Bucs.“Hey, I’ve got great friends on both sides,” Brady responded. “I’m not saying who I’m rooting for.“I’m not really rooting for one or the other, but one team built me a statue, so the ball’s in your court Tampa. Just saying.”Ahead of the 2025 NFL season, the Patriots paid tribute to Brady, who spent two decades with the team, by immortalizing him forever in bronze by building a 12-foot statue of the icon outside Gillette Stadium. Mere weeks after Brady’s statue unveiling, Gronkowski, who unveiled “Gronk Playground” along the Charles River Esplanade in Boston in August, shared his intention to sign a one-day contract with New England which got the nod of approval from Patriots owner Robert Kraft.Gronkowski goaded former teammate Brady on NFL SundayX/ @NFLonFoxSince his retirement from the NFL, though, Brady has gone on to hold a minority ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, whilst also signing a record 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox to be their lead color commentator.Henderson the hero for the PatsIn the heavily-anticipated match up between the Patriots and the Bucs with the battle of two MVP-contending quarterbacks in Maye and Mayfield, who rank eighth and ninth in talkSPORT’s QB power rankings, it was the second-year pro who prevailed.Despite completing just 51.6 percent of his passes, Maye finished the contest with 270 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, with the Patriots fending off the Bucs’ late rally to win 28-23 on the road.Maye prevailed over Baker Mayfield’s Bucs as the Patriots look like legit Super Bowl contendersGettyTreVeyon Henderson recorded a career-high 147 rushing yards against the BucsGettyAmid a lingering hamstring injury, Emeka Egbuka recorded a team-high 115 yards from six receptions and a touchdown for the sixth score of his rookie campaign.
