Rob Gronkowski is a difficult man to stop.Just ask the Kansas City Chiefs.

The latest example was Sunday night Womens Clayton Geathers Jersey , when the Patriots tight end had two key catches in the fourth quarter as New England edged the Chiefs 43-40.He has caught 76 TD passes from Tom Brady in his career."He made a big play. He's been making a lot of those his career," Brady said. "I'll keep throwing to him in the biggest moments."Because of his knack for coming through when needed most, Gronkowski was the runaway choice as the NFL's top tight end by a panel of 10 football writers for The Associated Press. The All-Pro received eight first-place votes in balloting released Friday."He hasn't played in all 16 games since 2011, but when he's on the field he's still essentially unstoppable," said Minnesota-based AP Football Writer Dave Campbell.Kansas City's Travis Kelce was second. He has 33 catches for 468 yards and three touchdowns for the Chiefs, who are off to a 5-1 start entering Sunday night's matchup against Cincinnati."Kelce is already just a notch behind Gronkowski and could top this list soon while playing in Kansas City's high-flying offense with Patrick Mahomes throwing him the ball," said New York-based AP Football Writer Dennis Waszak Jr.Zach Ertz of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles was third. He leads tight ends with 48 catches for 480 yards."One wonders if Wentz-Ertz will be a household combo along the lines of Brady-Gronk five years from now," said Dallas-based AP Football Writer Schuyler Dixon. "It's lofty company, but the pieces are in place."Green Bay's Jimmy Graham was fourth. He has 27 catches for 349 yards and a touchdown in his first season with the Packers."Aaron Rodgers sure knows what to do with a tight end like Graham," said Nashville-based AP Football Writer Teresa Walker.Graham edged out Carolina's Greg Olsen http://www.thecoltsfootballauthentic.com/darius-leonard-jersey-authentic , who has been dealing with injuries the past two seasons. After Olsen, Minnesota's Kyle Rudolph finished sixth.Tennessee's Delanie Walker, who is also hurt and out for the season with a broken leg, still managed to finish seventh."It's a shame he is injured, and the flop of the Titans' offense has a lot to do with his absence," said New York-based AP Football Writer Barry Wilner.Eric Ebron, who has six touchdowns, has been a bright spot for the Colts in his first season in Indianapolis. He finished eighth."He's become a go-to guy in the red zone for Andrew Luck," Philadelphia-based AP Football Writer Rob Maaddi said.Veteran Jared Cook, who's third among tight ends with 32 receptions Womens Ryan Grant Jersey , was ninth."Might be the only bright spot in Oakland right now," said Denver-based AP Football Writer Arnie Stapleton of the one-win Raiders.Rounding out the top 10 was San Francisco's George Kittle. The 2017 fifth-round pick is tied for sixth among tight ends with 27 catches."Kittle has emerged from being primarily a blocking tight end in college at Iowa to a real dual threat for the 49ers," Bay Area-based AP Football Writer Josh Dubow said.The rankings:1.

The defense has been playing very fast and has an entirely different personality from the one a year ago. The offense is hitting on all cylinders early and has been efficiently directed by Frank Reich and Andrew Luck. The pace on offense in the first half had the Bengals defensive line visibly exhausted, which should pay dividends in the second half.Let’s revisit the keys to the game and see how things have been going after two quarters.Colts Tight Ends vs. Bengals Linebackers and SecondaryWe have already seen the impact of utilizing tight ends Eric Ebron, Jack Doyle and Erik Swoope in the first half. All have been able to take advantage of mismatches against linebackers in coverage. Eric Ebron’s touchdown occurred while in man coverage with a linebacker. The tight ends are the only players getting in on the act in the short-middle zones. Running backs have also been targeted on dump-off passes in short-zones and have been taking advantage of Cincinnati’s weakness in this area of the field. Colts Offensive Line vs. Bengals Pass RushOutside of a couple of holding penalties, the offensive line has been doing a nice job. They have been aided by a heavy dose of quick release passes and shorter routes. They have also been aided by keeping the Bengals defense guessing by using a lot of different offensive weapons and keeping players fresh in the backfield. Joe Haeg has been doing a nice job at left tackle.Backfield Answers?How about all of them? Jordan Wilkins got the start and continues to display excellent vision and one step burst to get through the hole when it is there. Nyheim Hines has been a huge surprise after a lackluster preseason and has certainly been used in a lot of different ways. There has been a great deal of motion pre-snap in the backfield to create space and mismatches as well.At this point, it is exciting to imagine how dynamic the backfield could be when Mack and Turbin return.Can Matt Eberflus Manufacture Pressure on Andy Dalton?Pressure has been inconsistent in the first half but it has also helped keep the Bengals out of the end zone and helped force a turnover. Al Woods batted pass early in the game that was picked off by Kenny Moore. Denico Autry batted down a pass that ended a drive in the red zone and forced Cincinnati to take a field goal. We still need to see the edge rush get to work.Opportunism on DefenseKenny Moore picked up an interception off of the Al Woods batted pass. Matthias Farley forced A.J. Green to fumble and Darius Leonard recovered it. This is a big deal as we head into the second half.
