Rob Gronkowski took a victory lap over the Kansas City Chiefs Tuesday night, joking that the franchise should sign the Super Bowl LV streaker because unlike them, the streaker was able to score Sunday night.
Gronkowski scored two touchdowns as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers produced a stunning 31-9 win over the Chiefs on Sunday to win their first Vince Lombardi Trophy since 2002.
During the fourth quarter, a fan, who has since been identified as 31-year-old Yuri Andrade, ran onto the pitch wearing a pink thong, causing a temporary stop in play as officials tried to catch him.
Gronkowski spoke to James Corden on Tuesday’s The Late Late Show show about the incident, and it was clear he was a big fan of Andrade’s antics.
“There were a couple guys on our team who were absolutely loving it,” he said. “They were like ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’
"I feel like that was exactly what we needed to complete the night, because the night was going so smooth. We were scoring. Our defense was dominating, everyone was playing super well, we're up by a lot and all of a sudden here comes a streaker.
"And I was on the sideline like, 'Yes, this is what we needed. This streaker's amazing.' It was entertainment, you know.
You can see his interview with Corden below:
Gronkowski went on to praise Andrade's athleticism, throwing in a dig at the Chiefs, who were offensively impotent on the night, failing to score a touchdown, and registering just three field goals.
"He was quick! And that slide into the end zone was pretty incredible," added the 31-year-old tight end.
"He was so fast, I thought there was a chance that the Chiefs might go 'Hey buddy, can you stick around?'" - Corden then joked.
"He actually scored. The Chiefs didn't. He scored. They should definitely sign him," Gronkowski added.
