Rob Gronkowski says theKansas City Chiefs should sign the Super Bowl LV streaker.- Wearing a pink thong, the streaker ran onto the field and into the end zone in the fourth quarter.
- "He actually scored. The Chiefs didn't. He scored," Gronkowski joked.
Rob Gronkowski took a victory lap over the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday night, joking that the franchise should sign the Super Bowl LV streaker because unlike them, the streaker made it to the end zone Sunday night.
Gronkowski scored two touchdowns as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers produced a stunning 31-9 win over the Chiefs on Sunday, giving the Bucs their first Vince Lombardi Trophy since 2002.
During the fourth quarter, a fan, eventually identified as a 31-year-old man named Yuri Andrade, ran onto the pitch wearing a pink thong, causing a temporary stop in play as officials tried to catch him.
Gronkowski spoke about the incident with James Corden on Tuesday's "The Late Late Show," and he seemed to be 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."

Gronkowski went on to praise Andrade's athleticism, throwing in a dig at the Chiefs, whose only points on the night came from three field goals.
"He was quick! And that slide into the end zone was pretty incredible," the 31-year-old tight end said.
"He was so fast," Corden then joked, "I thought there was a chance that the Chiefs might go, 'Hey buddy, can you stick around?'"
"He actually scored," Gronkowski said. "The Chiefs didn't. He scored. They should definitely sign him."
