Rob Gronkowski has been suspended for 1 game for violation of unnecessary roughness rules

@BenVolin

A 1 game suspension will cost Gronk a $250k game check, a $31,250 game-day roster bonus, and will make it that much tougher to reach his $5.5 million incentive level (90 percent of snaps, OR 80 catches, OR 1,200 yards, OR 14 touchdowns)

The play in question occurred in the fourth quarter, after Gronkowski reportedly was upset that White wasn't called for defensive holding or pass interference prior to an interception. While White was on the ground, Gronk dove toward his head, striking the back of White's helmet and neck with his shoulder.

Gronkowski was flagged for unnecessary roughness after the hit, while White was taken out of the game and put into the concussion protocol.

"That's a dirty play, man," cornerback Micah Hyde said, per Mike Rodak of ESPN.com. "That's not cool. It's amazing to me that you don't get ejected for something like that. It's crazy. He obviously saw him on the ground.
