Patriots crush Colts, but Colts crush Rob Gronkowski's arm

11/19/2012

The New England Patriots won easily on Sunday, tying the franchise record for points scored in their 59-24 dismantling of the Indianapolis Colts. But the Pats will have to deal with the potentially bigger loss of tight end Rob Gronkowski, whose forearm was snapped while he blocked for the Pats' last extra point attempt. To put that in Gronk speak, "Yo soy no fiesta," at least for the estimated 4 to 6 weeks that he'll be sidelined. An unnamed "league source" said that Gronkowski will undergo surgery today. The Pats will face the struggling New York Jets on Thursday night, during America's collective post-turkey coma. [Source]
