And while they're unlikely to connect for 10 more touchdowns between now and the Super Bowl, they do have that extra week of action. If they both stay healthy, the opportunities will be there. They've shown three times this year (and in last year's Super Bowl) that they connect on multiple TDs in any given game, and the Bucs' game plan figures to continue to rely on Brady's right arm as the season heads into its final stretch. somewhat attainable for Brady and Gronkowski.

While this record seemed untouchable entering the 2021 season, now it's. Considering Brady appears to be headed for retirement after 2022 (maybe?), and considering Gronkowski is already operating on a year-to-year basis, that feels like an unlikely scenario.īut the record for regular season and playoffs combined? That's a different story. In reality, though, the regular-season mark is likely safe, unless Brady and Gronkowski keep playing together through 2023. Manning is probably not thrilled to hear that. Just really amazing."īrady was asked directly if he thinks he and Gronk can connect 22 more times in the regular season to catch Manning and Harrison. And then to run routes and catch balls and be athletic with the endurance that he has. So I think what makes him so amazing is his ability to do what he does in the run game, which is block defensive ends and the biggest, strongest guys in the world - literally, in the world. "He's a great in all aspects of the game. Obviously, I love being out there with him," Brady said. He's just so big, so quick, great hands, he just does an amazing job. He kind of makes it easy for any quarterback. Both of those scores came in one game, too, meaning he failed to find the end zone in 15 of his 16 career playoff games.)īrady helped explain the obvious of how this connection has been so good. (It's a bit shocking to discover that Harrison, a Hall of Famer, only caught two touchdowns in 16 playoff games. Manning and Harrison own the record in that category with 114. In that department, Brady and Gronk are now up to 104 touchdowns in the regular season and postseason combined.
