Gronkowski took an unnecessary cheap shot on White after a Tom Brady interception.

Gronkowski was not ejected from the game, but was hit with an unnecessary roughness penalty.
After the game, Gronkowski apologized for the hit:
"I'm not in the business of that. There was a lot of frustration, and I was just really frustrated at that moment," Gronkowski said. "It just happened naturally through emotions and frustration, and I just want to apologize to Tre'Davious White."
Brady also had to let out his frustrations in the team's 23-3 win over the Bills, yet his was in the sense of hurting feelings, not someone's physical well-being.
