The New Orleans Saints have a big fan in Rob Gronkowski. The longtime New England Patriots tight end is confident the Saints will rebound from their disappointing performance against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. He expects them to come away with a win on Sundayâs game with the Atlanta Falcons. He knows both teams well after briefly playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to close out his career.
Gronkowski sat down with Kay Adams to share his thoughts on Week 4âs matchups, and he has high expectations for the Saints.
âI think the Saints are gonna put it on them,â Gronkowski mused, âI think the Saints, they had a bad loss last week, their offense was kind of down a little bit but they showed they can turn it up in crunch time on that final draft that they had. I think Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara, theyâre going to turn it up. Theyâre gonna hit that switch again and theyâre gonna down there and theyâre gonna make some plays. The deep ball is gonna be back in play. I think theyâre going to put it on the Falcons.â
He added that this wasnât meant as a slight to the Falcons â Gronkowski simply believes the Saints are a better team that plays more complimentary football. Between their dynamic offense, shutdown defense, and effective special teams coverage, itâs easy to see why the Saints have won twice as many games as the Falcons this season. Kickoff is just hours away. Weâll find out soon whether Gronkowski made the right pick.
