""You watch this play right here, and this is the second-to-last play of Buffalo's game, and he's just got the receiver plastered right here," Baldinger said, as the clip of Gonzalez running step-for-step with Coleman down the sideline played. The play broke down, and Allen scrambled out of the pocket to buy some time for a downfield shot. Gonzalez stayed in front of Coleman. Coleman caught the ball, but his feet were not in position to stay in-bounds, so the pass was ruled incomplete."
""Christian Gonzalez has got his hands on him, he's in a perfect position between the man and the ball, and he makes sure that Coleman is out of bounds." Allen scrambled again on the next play, with his eyes up looking downfield. The Bills would have needed a touchdown to take the lead. Instead, Gonzalez got another stop that forced Buffalo to settle for a field goal."
Christian Gonzalez returned from a hamstring injury and the Patriots are 2-0 since his return. His coverage constrained Josh Allen's downfield options during the prime-time win over Buffalo. On a late deep attempt to Keon Coleman Gonzalez ran step-for-step, maintained position between the receiver and the ball, and ensured Coleman landed out of bounds, rendering the pass incomplete. On the next scramble attempt Gonzalez broke up a floater and forced Buffalo to settle for a field goal. The Patriots' pass defense improved into the top-10 with Gonzalez at right corner, reducing big-play opportunities.
