Watch Rob Gronkowski score his 69th touchdown for the New England Patriots

Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski is a familiar combination - and when the pair connected on Sunday, it resulted in a record-breaking 69th New England Patriots touchdown for Gronk.

Brady missed the opening weeks of the season through suspension, while Gronkowski has had his injury problems and would likely have missed his quarterback buddy.

But since Brady's return, the pair have wasted little time in getting back to doing what they do best - generating touchdowns.

And Gronkowski's in the 41-25 victory over the Buffalo Bills brought up a record-breaking number - the tight end, who has changed the game at that position, held on to Brady's 53-yard pass to rack up TD number 69 in a Patriots uniform.

Last week against Pittsburgh, Gronkowski drew level with Stanley Morgan on 68, equalling the franchise record, but he now stands apart after finding the end zone yet again on Sunday as the Patriots improved to 7-1 for the season with a fourth straight victory.
