The New England Patriots trailed the Philadelphia Eagles for almost the entirety of Super Bowl LII. The Patriots' first lead of the entire game came in the fourth quarter when Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski hooked up for a trademark touchdown.

Gronkowski was tightly covered as he ran his route into the back corner of the end zone. Brady threw a perfectly-placed touch pass and Gronkowski used his massive frame to beat the defender to the ball while it was in the air, which perfectly describes many of the plays that the legendary duo completed.

#2 - Super Bowl XLIX - New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks

Gronkowski catches a touchdown

The Patriots faced off against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. Seattle featured the famous Legion of Boom defense, one of the greatest units in NFL history. However, Brady and Gronkowski were able to overcome it when they identified an opportunity to take advantage of a favorable matchup in coverage.

Brady read the defense during a play in the second quarter and recognized that Rob Gronkowski would be in single-coverage against a linebacker. This spells bad news for any defense, including the Legion of Boom, as Brady placed the perfect pass to Gronkowski for a signature touchdown combination.

While it may have seemed relatively insignificant at the time, nothing was more important than the one that started it all. In their first game together for the Patriots during the 2010 NFL season against the Cincinnati Bengals, Brady found Gronkowski in the corner of the end zone for a touchdown.

This was the start of one of the most dominant duos in NFL history. They would go on to combine for a massive 105 touchdowns together, the second most by any pair of all time, trailing only Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison.
