Still Sick and Distraught; Five Things to Takeaway From the Steelers Crushing Loss to the Patriots

4. The Steelers Still Can’t Cover Gronk

While the man-to-man coverage on the Pats wide outs for the most part worked, one thing that didn’t was trying to cover Patriots superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski.
