Rob Gronkowski Leads the Way in Patriots' Win Over Steelers

Rob Gronkowski took a big gamble by declaring for the 2010 draft, but he proved his worth in the NFL with a very strong performance in front of a nationwide audience as the Patriots beat the Steelers Sunday night.

Gronkowski caught five passes for 72 yards and an incredible three touchdowns in the contest, easily the rookie's best performance in nine career games. It was a bounceback game, as well, as Gronkowski had a costly goal-line fumble the week before as the Patriots were upset by the Browns.

"It definitely feels good," he said after the game. "It's just opportunities. When you get opportunities, you've got to step up. Obviously, last week didn't go the way we all wanted."
