Rob Gronkowski faced aggressive coverage from the Kansas City Chiefs last week and doesn't blame them for the approach.

The New England Patriots tight end said if referees allowed holding, he'd advise that it be used.

"If I was one of those DBs, and you've seen film over the last few years, I would definitely be doing that if I was a DB -- 100 percent," Gronkowski said. "You don't really see it called ever, so I've just got to play with it. Play how the game is called. If I was a DB, I'd do that, too."

Gronkowski was targeted six times and finished the game with two receptions for 33 yards.
