Gronkowski says he's learned from mistake after serving suspension
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is putting his recent history behind him as his team gears up for one of the most pivotal games of the regular season.
Gronkowski was suspended for Monday's game against the Miami Dolphins after delivering a late hit on Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White. White suffered a concussion on the play.
With the Patriots preparing for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a contest that could eventually determine home-field advantage for the AFC playoffs, Gronkowski isn't looking backward.
"I definitely learned from the mistake that I made, for sure, a couple weeks ago," Gronkowski said to ESPN's Mike Reiss. "But I have a huge game this Sunday, we have a huge game as a team, so I'm just putting all my focus on to the Steelers this week."
Gronkowski deferred when asked if it was difficult to watch Monday's loss to the Dolphins.
On pace for another All-Pro campaign, the tight end will certainly play a huge role in trying to lead the Patriots to a key road victory over their biggest conference rival.
