If the New England Patriots are to get off to a quick start in the 2013 regular season, it will probably get done on the back of a stout running game, and a physical defense.
The Patriots offense though will look like a sham of itself.
The Boston Globe is reporting that Rob Gronkowski will miss the first six games of the regular season, because he will be on the PUP list.
Gronkowski has been in street clothes throughout training camp, recovering from back surgery for a herniated disc on June 18th.
