The injury to Gronkowski followed a season-ending injury to one of their top defensive player as well as other injuries, and the loss in the off-season of their top wide receiver. Brady answered very matter-of-factly, “next man up, we will keep doing what we do.”
I was impressed that the loss of a key weapon, after so many other injuries, did not seem to bother him. He was going about his work just like any other day, and he was going to succeed just like he always does.
