You just have to let them play.

“Clever Facebook post, Tom Brady“, the post read. But Brady needed just five plays to drive the Patriots 51 yards and into range for Stephen Gostowski’s 47-yard field goal that tied it at the end of regulation.
-Tight end Scott Chandler continues to struggle to find a rapport working with quarterback Tom Brady.
Gronkowski was carted from the field during Sunday’s game at Denver Broncos after taking a hit from safety Darian Stewart to his right knee. New England was saved, temporarily, as they pressed the game to overtime. Right now he looks good but it’s only two games. Sunday Night Football producer Fred Gaudelli who was the first person to use the virtual 1st and Ten line which is now standard on all football telecasts was in charge of the yard markers and numbers for Denver-New England.
Brady and the Pats lost in overtime to Denver, 30-24 and after the game he was handed an L on social media as well.
So Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola could be back in next couple weeks, Julian Edelman by end of season. Drafted by New England in 2010, Gronk was already setting records by 2011. Gronkowski finished with six catches and 88 yards. Also, the surprise of the season Logan Ryan comes in at 24 years old.
If he continued for the rest of this season at the pace he was on, Gronkowski would have ended the season with more than seventy receptions, over 1170 receiving yards, and eleven or twelve touchdowns. The only way it will be settled is when they play again in January.
Bill Belichick admitted that one big difference between the Patriots’ recent playoff successes and their past failures was the health of Gronk, NFL.com reported.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Gronkowski actually only suffered a minor knee strain as an MRI revealed only a deep bruise and no tears to the area. Ward and Williams were in walking boots post-game. In the end the Broncos got the win, but there is plenty of argument to say the Patriots gave it away thanks to injuries and bad penalties.
Now that an injury to Peyton Manning has opened the door for quarterback Brock Osweiler, the Broncos don’t want the door to be slammed shut repeatedly on Osweiler’s leg.
Denver punted on their first three drives of the game, before Osweiler threw an interception deep in his own territory on a ball that was batted high into air.
