So did Rob Gronkowski, who was seen insisting he was held by Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor.But a pass-interference penalty wasnt called on Chancellor -- on fourth-and-goal from the 1 on the Patriots final offensive play -- handing New England its second loss of the season and creating more controversy over NFL officials judgment calls.I mean, it didnt get called. It is what it is, Gronkowski said. If its not a PI to the refs, then its not a PI to the refs.The play is what it is. You cant really change it.Gronkowski said he hadnt been trying to initiate contact but that it just happened.He was playing off me a little bit, pretty far, farther than usual, Gronkowski said. You usually dont see that, and it was a fake, so I had to go up to him and make a little move.?The Seahawks said they had practiced defending the play in the final sequence of the last practice before the game.I was on Marcus Lucas, and he did the same exact route and we both fell and hit the ground just like that, Chancellor said of the Seahawks tight end.

I was just trying to make a move and get outside and catch a fade ball.Gronkowsski, who finished with three catches for 56 yards, reiterated he has often faced notable challenges with officials on such plays.ddddddddddddIve had problems in the past with that, last year and a couple times this year, Gronkowski said.
