FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski says that as an offensive player, he is worried about the Denver Broncos' defense -- not Peyton Manning -- as the two teams prepare for their Week 5 matchup at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
"We're not facing Peyton Manning, we're facing the Denver Broncos defense and that's what we're worried about, is when we're going against the Denver Broncos defense," he said. "We've got to do what we've got to do, we've got to execute. We've got to play as a team, we've got to play as an offense in order to go out there and move the ball."
And while the third-year tight end isn't focused on the resumption of the rivalry between Manning and Brady, he says any game that pits the two against each other is always competitive.
