Tom Brady, Patriots blow out Andrew Luck, Colts, 59-24

Gronkowski left the game late in the fourth quarter, and is now set to receive X-rays. The tight end could have been taken out of the game earlier, as the Pats already had a major lead when he was injured. Gronkowski led New England with seven catches for 137 yards when he was hurt, and had recorded two touchdowns already on the day.

The loss would obviously be major for the Pats: with his tenth touchdown catch of the year in Sunday’s game, Gronkowski became the first tight end ever to record ten or more touchdowns in three straight years - and this is only his third year in the NFL out of Arizona. He’s second on the team in receptions and yards receiving, but has significantly more receiving touchdowns than anybody else on the team. After Sunday’s game, he leads all tight ends in receiving yards and touchdowns.

Remember Wilfork’s interception last year?

Brady has only completed passes to four receivers on the day, but is doing quite well despite not spreading the ball around.

This make five straight games in which Brady has thrown for at least two scores and 200 yards. With a lot of football left to play he should only build on those numbers and end up with a very strong fantasy performance for the day.

Avery is No. 2 statistically for the Colts in receiving this season, having caught 38 passes for 519 yards. He has only caught one touchdown pass this year.

Time to see if the rookie quarterback can lead his team back to another come-from-behind win, but this time, without one of his starting wide receivers.

Gronk isn’t done yet. He’ll have many more fantasy points by the end of the day.

Luck has just 5.9 YPA, even against New England’s atrocious secondary. We’ll see if the rookie can turn it on in the second half and lead Indy to another comeback win.

Hernandez will be missing his sixth game of the season as a lingering ankle injury continues to plague the tight end. Mankins is also dealing with an ankle injury, but it’s just one of a few different ailments the lineman has had to deal with this season.

The Colts enter Sunday at 6-3 on the season, and are 2-2 so far on the road. They have been playing well of late, and have won their last four games entering play on Sunday afternoon.

The Patriots are also 6-3 on the season, and have lost only once at home this year. They have won their last three contests, and have yet to be held under 20 points in a game this season.

While the Colts and Patriots hold identical records, most experts are going with the veteran Brady over the rookie Luck. All of the experts at CBS Sports and Yahoo! Sports have picked New England, while SB Nation’s Joel Thorman has predicted a 33-27 Patriots victory.
