FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots didn’t need Rob Gronkowski when they dominated the Houston Texans last month.
Now he’s back.
And that gives the Texans, 42-14 losers on Dec. 10, a tougher challenge in Sunday’s rematch in a divisional playoff game.
“Obviously, he’s a great player,” Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker said Thursday. “So any time you can throw him in there, it’s a good thing.”
It’s even better when Gronkowski is out there with their other star tight end, Aaron Hernandez.
But they played together in just five games this season.
