The “do your job” mentality among the New England Patriots is in conflict with Rob Gronkowski’s outgoing personality, and that conflict was obvious on Sunday when it came to a celebration.
Brandin Cooks caught a touchdown pass to put the Patriots up 35-17 over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. In a celebration, he jumped on Gronk’s back.
After the game, Gronk was asked about the celebration. He really, really wanted to talk about it, but he said he couldn’t.

No surprise, Gronk says they were yelled at over the celebration.
Bill Belichick means business in New England, and that sort of celebration nonsense doesn’t fit.
