New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has caught 65 touchdowns in his career, third all time for a player in his first six seasons, behind two guys named Jerry Rice and Randy Moss. Throw in playoff games, including the Patriots Super Bowl XLIX win over the Seattle Seahawks, and Gronks touchdown receptions climb to 74. This guy is a super freak, a massive tight end (6-6, 265) with a skill set that really has no historical comparison.But what are Gronks 10 best TD catches? With the TE ranked No. 3 overall in ESPNs #NFLRank, I decided to go back and watch all 74 of them -- the seam routes, the goal-line matchups, the underneath throws where Gronk powered through tackles -- to determine the top 10.Heres my ranking, starting with No. 10:10. Jets at Patriots, 2012Find the corner of the end zoneThe 7-route (or corner) is one of the top concepts in Gronks tool box, because he can create separation at the break point and use his size to shield the defender from the ball on an outside cut. In this matchup from 2012 against Rex Ryans Jets, Gronk beat the scheme to make a sweet grab in the corner of the end zone.Ryan gets it with Gronk. Hes not going to give this dude a clean release on every snap. And thats why the Jets used an underneath defender to jam Gronk off the ball, with safety LaRon Landry picking up the coverage over the top.But even with the Jets disrupting Gronks release, he gets up on the cushion of Landry and is now in the proper position to win. Gronk separates at the top of the route and heads to the corner of the end zone. The ball from QB Tom Brady? Its a dime, thrown to a tight window toward the back pylon. And Gronk lays out to haul this one in. Forget about it. The scheme wont help you here, Rex.

Heres some good news for all those teams that might finish 5-7 in the regular season: A few of them will probably play on.For a second straight season, it looks like sub-.500 teams will be needed to fill all the bowl slots.There are 64 teams that are now bowl eligible, leaving 16 more spots to fill. But only 18 bubble teams are left, so unless a very high number of them reach six wins, bowls will have to look at 5-7 teams. Those teams are prioritized according to the most recent Academic Progress Report scores.Kentucky (6-5) is one of a handful of teams that become bowl eligible this past week. The Wildcats beat Austin Peay 49-13 to become bowl eligible for the first time since the 2010 season.Army (6-5) routed Morgan State 60-3, but the Black Knights arent bowl eligible yet because one of their wins over an FCS opponent doesnt count for eligibility purposes. Army has one more regular-season game, Dec. 10 against Navy, but by then, bowl matchups will likely be set. So for now, the Black Knights are in a situation similar to what 5-7 teams will face -- theyre waiting to see if there are any open spots.The road ahead for the 18 teams -- not counting Army -- that can still become bowl eligible:Akron (5-6): At Ohio on Tuesday.Arizona State (5-6): At Arizona on Friday.Boston College (5-6): At Wake Forest on Saturday.Indiana (5-6): Hosts Purdue on Saturday.Louisiana-Lafayette (4-6): Hosts Arkansas State on Saturday, at Louisiana-Monroe on Dec. 3.Maryland (5-6): HHosts Rutgers on Saturday.ddddddddddddMiami (Ohio) (5-6): Hosts Ball State on Tuesday.
