How Stephon Gilmore Felt About Facing Patriots For First Time Since Trade

Stephon Gilmore provided the early highlight, but his old team got the victory Sunday.

The New England Patriots defeated Gilmore’s Carolina Panthers 24-3 at Bank of America Stadium. After the game, the cornerback spoke with reporters about facing his former club for the first time.

“It was no emotions,” said Gilmore, whom the Patriots traded to the Panthers last month. “It’s a business. Obviously, I have a lot of relationships over there with teammates and coaches, but it’s part of it. We’ll have those relationships forever. It was just another game for me. I studied and played how I wanted to play and went from there.
