Reblogged from ProFootballTalk:
Patriots All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski suffered a broken arm on the extra point that gave New England its 59th point in Sunday's 59-24 win over Indianapolis. That has some people asking: Why did Bill Belichick have Gronkowski in the game?
Longtime Boston sports columnist Ron Borges made the point on Comcast SportsNet New England that Belichick's use of such an important player as Gronkowski on such an unimportant play as an extra point late in the fourth quarter of a game in which the Patriots are leading by 34 points is a mistake.
