Albert Breer shares the latest on what he’s heard about the quarterbacks rumored to be on the trade market, including Carson Wentz, and where the Patriots stand on finding their QB of the future.
Tom Brady has finally done it.

Brady found Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski on a 8-yard touchdown pass with 37 seconds remaining in the opening quarter.

Brady and Gronkowski played in four Super Bowls together -- Gronk missed Super Bowl LI due to injury -- in nine seasons as teammates on the New England Patriots from 2010 through 2018. Brady's Patriots teams never scored a first quarter touchdown in nine trips to the Super Bowl.
Several of Brady's and Gronkowski's former Patriots teammates had an excited reaction on Twitter to the touchdown. Here's a roundup of those tweets:
Another Boston sports legend, former Red Sox star David Ortiz, also was fired up over Gronkowski's touchdown.
UPDATE (Sunday, Feb. 7 at 7:55 p.m. ET): Gronkowski caught another TD from Brady in the second quarter, and Patriots players again went to Twitter to react.
A win for Brady would give him seven Super Bowl titles in 10 appearances -- more than any player or team in NFL history.
