"The little Nutcracker dude, guarding the house, the palace," Gronkowski explained in his own unique way. "I like how he just sits there and stays still. It's pretty cool. I give credit to Chandler [Jones]. He told me to do it."
The second celebration came after a 14-yard catch in the fourth quarter, which was more of a dance move. Gronkowski didn't go into too many details on that one.
"I don't know, you have to ask Deion [Branch]. He knows," Gronkowski said.
As for his favorite spike of the weekend, Gronkowski picked the one with the microphone.
"That was pretty good," he said with a chuckle.
Gronkowski was one of the Patriots' stars in Sunday's win, totaling eight receptions for 146 yards and the two touchdowns.
