The stage is set for one of the most anticipated matchups in recent NFL history: the Philadelphia Eagles versus the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. As fans gear up for the big game, the question on everyone’s mind is: Who will come out on top? Even NFL legend Rob Gronkowski has weighed in with his prediction, and it’s causing quite a stir.
Gronk’s Prediction
When asked about his thoughts on the Super Bowl matchup, Gronk didn’t hold back. “I’m going to go with the Eagles,” he declared. But as the conversation unfolded, he shifted his stance, predicting a 30-26 victory for the Kansas City Chiefs. “I will not go against the Chiefs for a third time in a row,” Gronk explained, referencing his previous incorrect predictions. His exact score prediction drew gasps and applause, especially from Philly fans, who were quick to remind him of his track record of being wrong.
The Kansas City Chiefs, led by the phenomenal Patrick Mahomes, are aiming for a historic three-peat. Gronk acknowledged the magnitude of this achievement, calling it “one of the best dynasties in the last decade.” However, he was quick to point out that comparing Mahomes to his former teammate Tom Brady is a tall order. “Tom Brady is the greatest player of all time,” Gronk stated, emphasizing Brady’s undefeated record against Mahomes in playoff matchups. While Mahomes is undoubtedly the greatest player in the NFL today, Gronk believes it will take more than a three-peat to enter the GOAT conversation.
Mahomes’ Gronk-Spike Fail
One of the most talked-about moments from the AFC Championship game was Patrick Mahomes’ attempt at a Gronk-style touchdown spike. While Mahomes is known for his incredible arm strength and precision, his spike attempt fell flat—literally. Gronk, the undisputed king of the touchdown spike, analyzed the mishap with his signature humor. “You’ve got to grip that ball as hard as you possibly can,” he advised, noting that the cold weather likely played a role in Mahomes’ slip-up. “Next time, warm those hands up real quick, wind it up, and kaboom!”
Gronk’s High School Hobbies and Wingman Duties
The conversation took a hilarious turn when Jimmy Fallon brought up Gronk’s high school yearbook, which listed his hobbies as “working out, playing sports, and chicks.” Gronk laughed it off, admitting that his hobbies haven’t changed much—except now, “chicks” is singular. “I’ve got a beautiful baby out there,” he said, pointing to his wife, Camille, in the audience.
Gronk also shared details about his latest venture as the “Bounty Man” in a new commercial with Drew Brees. In the ad, Gronk plays the ultimate wingman, cleaning up Brees’ messy wing-eating habits. “I’m the best wingman in the whole entire world,” Gronk boasted, adding that his love for wings runs deep. As a Buffalo native, he’s a staunch advocate for blue cheese over ranch—a stance that sparked a lively debate.
The Dynasty Debate
As the discussion circled back to the Chiefs’ potential three-peat, Gronk acknowledged their dominance in the current decade. “This is the dynasty of this decade,” he said, but he was quick to remind everyone that Brady’s two-decade-long dynasty with the Patriots remains unmatched. “It’s going to take 10 more years for Mahomes to reach that level,” Gronk concluded.
A Fun-Filled Finale
To celebrate the Super Bowl and Gronk’s new commercial, Jimmy Fallon surprised him with a plate of wings from Blondies, a renowned New York City spot. True to his wingman persona, Gronk stepped in to help Jimmy enjoy the messy treat, leading to a hilarious and slightly awkward moment that had the audience in stitches.
