Overview
- Next Gen Stats recorded Gonzalez allowing more than 80 receiving yards to two different players in the same game, with Matthew Golden and Christian Watson combining for the bulk of the production against him.
- The Packers beat the Patriots 45-27 in Foxborough, a game in which New England surrendered the most points ever at Gillette Stadium and the secondary was repeatedly beaten.
- Gonzalez said his confidence is unchanged and called the loss 'rinsed and washed,' adding he plans to focus on technique fixes and preparation for the next game.
- Patriots coaches and teammates publicly defended Gonzalez while defensive coordinator Zak Kuhr emphasized the problems were collective and warned that proximity to big plays can concentrate blame on one player.
- With starter Carlton Davis ruled out for the Munich game, New England faces a tougher assignment against Detroit receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and must correct coverage issues quickly to avoid further damage.
