Rob Gronkowski knows Boston's ‘diehard fans' will watch both Red Sox and Patriots

The full Red Sox-Astros ALCS schedule was released Wednesday, and fans might have to make a difficult decision on Sunday night.

That's because Game 2 of the series will take place at the same time as the Patriots' Sunday Night Football matchup vs the Chiefs.

While that presents a possible conflict, Rob Gronkowski knows Boston fans will find a way to watch both games.

"That’s pretty nuts," Gronkowski said on Wednesday. "But you know Boston sports fans, they’re going to have two TVs. The Red Sox game right there and the Patriots game right there and you know, probably halftime of our game, the Red Sox game will be up or something. You’ve got to give them credit. Our fans, those Boston fans, New England fans, they’re die-hard fans. Not just for football but for every sport around here. So you know they’ll find a way to watch both."

Gronk isn't wrong. You can bet Boston fans will be glued to their (multiple) TVs for both marquee matchups Sunday night. The Red Sox will be taking on the defending champions, while the Patriots will be going up against arguably the hottest team in football at the moment.

It doesn't get much more entertaining than that.

Watch the Patriots and Chiefs on NBC's Sunday Night Football. The game will be seen locally on NBC10.
