Rob Gronkowski Video: Watch Patriots TEs Record-Setting TD Catch

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is an unstoppable monster that is feasting on opposing defenses at a record pace this NFL season.

"Gronk" caught his 14th touchdown pass against the Washington Redskins on Sunday, setting the record for most touchdown catches for a tight end in a single season in NFL history. He passes Antonio Gates and Vernon Davis, who set the previous mark at 13.

Gronkowski's touchdown was set up by an even more impressive play that got New England into the red zone. The massive tight end shrugged off two Redskins players while avoiding the sideline for an awesome play to set up a first down. On the next play, Brady found his most reliable target for the record score.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is probably going to want the ball for its historical value, but it might have a small dent in it.

Gronkowski, like he does after most touchdowns, celebrated with his typical ground shaking spike that sent the ball high into the sky.

After he pummeled the ball into the dirt, he quickly realized he better go get that ball. I think he even forgot it was the record ball before he spiked it. 

Gronkowski is almost impossible to defend. He is amazingly strong at 265 lbs, and if that wasn't hard enough to stop, Gronk is also 6'6" tall. It's really an unfair matchup for defenses.

Coming into Sunday's game against the Redskins, Gronkowski had eight touchdown catches in his last five games. He caught two touchdowns in three of those games.

Is Gronkowski a legitimate MVP candidate? Of course he is, without question he is the most valuable pass-catcher in football. 

You could even make the case that he is playing better right now than Randy Moss was in 2007 when the former Patriots star set an NFL single season record with 23 touchdown catches.
