FOXBOROUGH — Cornerback Stephon Gilmore has fond memories of the 2017 AFC Championship.
With the Patriots leading 24-20 and less than two minutes remaining against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Gilmore batted down a fourth-and-15 pass intended for wide receiver Dede Westbrook. A completion would have put the Jaguars inside New England’s 10-yard line. Instead, the breakup punched the Patriots’ ticket to Super Bowl LII.
Gilmore, however, isn’t relishing that picture-perfect moment ahead of this season’s conference championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
