Cox/Getty Images)The New England Patriots are having little difficulty dealing with the Buffalo Bills this afternoon, as Tom Brady and Co. are leading, 21-6, late in the third quarter.
Rob Gronkowski, though, is having a lot of trouble.
The Patriots’ star tight end has not looked like himself today – or, really, for much of the season – and it’s tough to watch.
Gronkowski has zero catches on the day.
It’s tough to blame Tom Brady for not wanting to give him the ball, as on a recent attempt, this happened:
Gronk can't get open today vs a rookie, and when he does get a look … yikes. Watching him closely this year (had him in fantasy) he doesn't look like he's having funpic.twitter.com/oAZTkDAsch

Yikes.
The Patriots can clinch the AFC East division with a win today and it looks like that is going to happen.
New England is leading Buffalo, 21-6, toward the end of the third quarter.
