Gronk, AB, Fournette team up for Super Bowl TDs, Bucs top KC

By ARNIE STAPLETON - AP Pro Football Writer

One came out of retirement, another emerged from football purgatory and a third was plucked from limbo-land. Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown and Leonard Fournette were all stars elsewhere before taking different paths and teaming up in Tampa Bay. Brought to the Buccaneers by the lure of Tom Brady, they each ended up in the end zone in a 31-9 Super Bowl romp over the Kansas City Chiefs. Gronkowski caught two touchdown passes and Brown snagged another as the Bucs built a 21-6 halftime lead. Fournette bolted 27 yards for a score midway through the third quarter that left little doubt how this game would end.
