Gronkowski's 1st catch comes on record-tying drive
Football Betting Lines
02/05/2012 -
Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It took Rob Gronkowski nearly an entire
half to make his first catch in the Super Bowl.
The injured Patriot, who set the tight end record for receiving yards and
touchdowns during the regular season, was several tortured inches away from
one final catch that would have gone down as one of the greatest in NFL
history.
Gronkowski, who played despite suffering a high ankle sprain in the AFC title
game two weeks ago, had two catches for 26 yards in New England's 21-17 loss.
His first catch of the game was a 20-yarder for first down during a 96-yard
touchdown march near the end of the first half that tied a Super Bowl record
for the longest drive.
Later, Gronkowski was targeted on a long heave by an under-pressure Tom Brady
that was intercepted by Giants linebacker Chase Blackburn on the second play
of the fourth quarter.
Gronkowski, who was wearing a walking boot until earlier this week, flashed
open and waved his hand to get Brady's attention as three defenders closed on
the quarterback.
But he just wasn't able to recover in time to get position on Blackburn, who
picked the pass off at the Giants' eight-yard line.
And Gronkowski didn't react quickly enough -- or couldn't react quickly enough
-- on a last-second Hail Mary that Brady threw into the end zone from beyond
midfield after the Giants took the lead with 57 seconds remaining.
Fellow tight end Aaron Hernandez, surrounded by three Giants defenders, leapt
for the ball, which was deflected away.
Gronkowski stumbled forward and reached down, but the ball fell incomplete
just out of his grasp.
