WATCH: Rob Gronkowski keeps carving up Steelers with yet another touchdown
The score moves Gronk into a tie for most touchdowns in franchise history
It took a while, but Rob Gronkowski finally started eating against the Steelers. After spending most of Sunday's game with just one reception (on one target) to his name, the Patriots tight end burst up the seam for a 36-yard touchdown in the third quarter, proving -- once again -- that he's impossible to cover down the field.
Good luck stopping this dart from Tom Brady:

= @Patriots TD!
Unstoppable. #Patriots#NEvsPIThttps://t.co/sdvAfPrI3U
For Pittsburgh, that's a familiar sight, because Gronk almost always has his way with the Steelers. Sunday marked Gronk's fifth career game against the Steelers, and that touchdown was the eighth of his career against them.
Overall, Gronk has caught 67 career touchdowns. He's scored 68 total times from scrimmage. So, he's now tied with Stanley Morgan for the most receiving touchdowns and touchdowns from scrimmage in franchise history.
Gronk shared his thoughts on the possibility of scoring 69 career touchdowns. It was actually perfect.

Also, this seems pretty remarkable:
Rob Gronkowski now has as many career TD receptions as Rod Smith, Art Monk and Raymond Berry. That trio averaged 13+ seasons to get there.
