The New England Patriots haven't had the best defensive performances this season, as they've allowed the 18th-most points per game (22.5) and the 20th-most yards per game (345.2).
However, second-year cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who missed most of his rookie season due to injury, has been phenomenal. Despite facing some of the most talented wide receivers in the league each week, Gonzalez has kept most of his matchups in check this year.
According to Pro Football Reference, he's allowed completions on just 55.4% of balls thrown in his direction, and he's surrendered just two touchdowns.
