"Gonzalez finished Sunday's loss at Levi's Stadium with three pass breakups, two of which might have taken away touchdowns for Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Rashid Shaheed in an eventual 29-13 loss. Gonzalez's performance was a bright spot in an otherwise brutal end to New England's 2025 season - the type of performance on the big stage that will get the 23-year-old defensive back paid this offseason."
"Gonzalez, who earned Second Team All-Pro honors in 2024, played his best football during New England's run to Super Bowl LX. Beyond his stout play against Seattle, Gonzalez closed out New England's four-game postseason slate with seven pass breakups - and seven catches allowed. Entering Super Bowl LX, Gonzalez only allowed a 39.3 percent completion percentage during his first three playoff games - the lowest percentage allowed by a player with 25+ targets since at least 2018, per Next Gen Stats."
Christian Gonzalez delivered a standout performance in Super Bowl LX despite the Patriots' 29-13 loss to the Seahawks. He recorded three pass breakups in the game, two of which likely prevented touchdowns, and finished the postseason with seven pass breakups and seven catches allowed. He allowed a 39.3 percent completion rate across his first three playoff games, the lowest for a player with 25+ targets since at least 2018. Gonzalez earned Second Team All-Pro honors in 2024. He remains under his rookie deal through 2026 with a fifth-year option available, and he expressed a desire to stay in New England and potentially sign an extension.
