Two men enter, one man leaves. Those are the stakes when you play Mortal Kombat, and Marshawn Lynch and Rob Gronkowski got a taste of that when they faced on Conan O’Brien’s show.

Bite Strength: 4,000 pounds per square inch.

Overall, it was a fun diversion before the real battle takes place on Sunday.
