Rob Gronkowski leaves Kay Adams stunned by claiming ‘Chiefs get way more calls than Patriots did’ before backtracking

ROB Gronkowski made a bold claim during an appearance on Kay Adams’ show which left the host stunned.

The former tight end turned Fox NFL star is a semi-regular on Kay’s “Up and Adams” show.

And he was quizzed about the narrative circulating that the Kansas City Chiefs are receiving favorable calls from officials.

Kansas City won their Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals after a pass interference call put them in field goal territory for the winning kick.

And they survived a late scare against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3 with Atlanta left furious over a call that wasn’t made on the Chiefs defence.

Adams asked Gronk if the Chiefs receive more favorable calls than when he was playing with the New England Patriots.

“I would say so – I didn’t really get calls,” Gronk said.

“I was double-teamed and executed off the line of scrimmage half the time and five yards into the route.

“Then they would call pass interference on me when I was trying to get the guy off of me.”

Adams looks visibly stunned when Gronk made the claim about his treatment.

Former Patriots tight end Gronkowski then referenced an incident when he lost his cool and struck Buffalo Bills star Tre’Davious White.

“It was because he held me four times in one play and Tom Brady threw an interception to him,” Gronk claimed.

“Then I flipped out because it was the 50th time I got held that year and I gave him the People’s Elbow like it was a WWE ring.

“It was a bang-bang play, I didn’t mean to do that.

“I was just frustrated because I didn’t get any calls.”

Gronk continued, “The Chiefs get way more calls than the Patriots. I don’t remember getting any calls for myself.

“Maybe as a team, I don’t know, I don’t remember those calls.”

'That's what makes him so great'

New England Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski says Tom Brady's greatness is down to consistency.

Brady continued playing until he was 45, leaving many people asking what was the secret to his longevity – and his longtime friend has the answer.

“You really don’t see that anymore in this generation, he really practices what he preaches,” Gronk told former teammate Julian Edelman, 38, on the Games with Names podcast.

“There are no and, ifs, or buts about Tom Brady being Tom Brady.

“What he puts out there, what he preaches, he practices it.

“There’s no doubt about it. There are a lot of people out there on social media, or at a lecture, they’re reminiscing about, ‘This is what you gotta do to be great, this is what you gotta do to be successful.’

“Well Tom Brady does what he says on a daily basis.

“He takes care of his body, he takes care of his mind, he competes, and that’s what makes him so great.”

Adams hit back at Gronk’s claims about not getting any calls when the Patriots were at the height of their dynasty.

The host asked, “The second somebody touched Brady , flags weren’t flying? Really?”

And Gronk was forced into a backtrack as he laughed, “I don’t remember those ones.

“I’m just talking about myself.

“Tom might have gotten some calls, but I used to just get pounded from the linebacker to the safety.

“The guys used to jump on my back and the ball would be thrown to me and there would be nothing called.”
