Gonzalez Quietly Has Notable Moments
One thing that stood out looking at the game film over the weekend was the fact that New England Patriots rookie defensive back Christian Gonzalez, despite getting knocked back on Houston’s first offensive play from scrimmage, really did end up having a solid night.
Watching all of his snaps, he blanketed every receiver and didn’t leave much open, showing the same fluidity and quickness he showed in college. He was part of the reason why both C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills each held the ball an extra beat on a couple of plays where New England was able to get pressure.
