This all started with a Sportscenter Tweet about GRONK and Dez.
Rob Gronkowski has tied Dez Bryant for most receiving touchdowns since 2010 with 56. pic.twitter.com/Eqlf8RsUWb

That lead to this humorous exchange.
@SportsCenter with lesser targets #throwupthex

@DezBryant, if you get in the end zone on Sunday, we will update that stat.

Dez says numbers don’t lie, so let’s look at the numbers.
According to this, GRONK has been targeted 152 less times since 2010 than Dez and has the same number of TDs and almost as many catches.
Gronk also has the same amount of TDs in 10 less games than Dez. So, the stats are definitely lying to Dez, but they are both great. Knowing Dez he might catch three Sunday Night just because he didn’t like the Sportscenter Tweet.
