Quarterback Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers offense absolutely shredded the New England Patriots through the air on Sunday.
Love completed 23 of his 29 pass attempts for 372 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions as the Packers went on to secure a dominant 45-27 final score on the road. Christian Watson finished the game with seven catches for 171 yards and a touchdowns, while Matthew Golden recorded 10 catches for 164 yards and a touchdown of his own.
When speaking to reporters postgame, superstar cornerback Christian Gonzalez was asked about his secondary's tough outing against the Packers wide receivers.

Gonzalez was specifically asked about Golden, who had 150 yards in the first half alone.
“I mean, they did a good job. He came out and ran good routes. Ran the routes they had in the gameplan and Jordan Love was able to get him the ball," Gonzalez replied, via Carlos A. Lopez. "I just gotta be able to finish and make those plays. I’m right there, I just gotta make those plays. I mean, it’s not the end of the world. I had a bad game. I’m not shaken up by it, I’m not too worried about it. I’ll move on and be ready for next week.”
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is confident that Gonzalez will bounce back.
“You can’t take a nap in this league. Whoever the receivers are, especially the good ones, you have to play with great technique. You have to challenge when you can. They’re gonna catch passes, it’s just that they have to earn it," Vrabel said.
"Christian had a few plays I’m sure that he’d like to have back. And I said this, we have high expectations for him, and he certainly does too. So, I think it’s about answering the challenge this week and coming back," he continued. "Again, to play corner in this league you got to have a short memory. Whether that’s on the good plays or the negative ones, and I’m confident that he will.”
