Despite being from Buffalo, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has not at all been shy doing some very bad things to the hometown Bills over the course of his NFL career. His latest stunt probably isn’t going to go down too well with some Bills fans, either.
Gronk was a member of a wedding party over the weekend and was getting his groove on with a bridesmaid. But when she brought out a Bills cap and put it on Gronk, the Patriots star had quite the reaction.
That Bills hat got the ‘Gronk Spike’ treatment 😅

Not only did Gronk recoil and quickly remove said cap from his head, but he went on to Gronk spike it with utmost authority on the floor. And to add insult to injury, he then kicked the cap away with his foot before busting out some Gronk-style dance moves.
But as emphatic as that spike on the Bills cap was, it’s still not quite on the level of destruction that Gronk’s has delivered against Buffalo on the field. In 13 games against the Bills over his eight-year career, Gronkowski has recorded 66 passes for 1,027 yards with 12 touchdowns, which is a pretty impressive stat line.
Gronkowski and the Patriots will face the Bills on Oct. 29 and Dec. 23 this season. If history is anything to go by, he’ll likely be uncorking at least a couple of those Gronk spikes on some actual footballs instead of caps during those meetings against his hometown team. And based on the midseason form of his spikes even with weeks before training camp, he should be ready to throw them down.
