Big Day for Quartet of Tight Ends: Gronkowski, Hernandez, Davis and Graham
After Saints tight end Jimmy Graham caught the go-ahead touchdown in the final two minutes of today's game, 49ers tight end Vernon Davis caught the game-winning score in the final seconds of the game.
It was the second touchdown of the game for each tight end.
Between Graham, Davis and Patriots tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, they posted ridiculous combined stats -- 26 receptions for 483 yards and eight touchdowns.
Of those four tight ends, Hernandez was the only one to finish with only one touchdown, but he also led the Patriots in rushing with five carries for 61 yards. BenJarvus Green-Ellis finished second on the team with 28 yards on 13 carries.
The other three tight ends all finished with 100-plus yards and two-plus scores: Gronkowski (10 receptions for 145 yards and three touchdowns), Davis (7-180-2) and Graham (5-103-2).
