On Sunday, Christian Gonzalez recorded his first NFL touchdown.
Against the Miami Dolphins, the New England Patriots cornerback recovered a mishandled pass and ran it back 63 yards for the scoop-and-score touchdown.
Jaylen Wright, a running back for Miami, stumbled the pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Gonzalez picked up the loose football after New England safety Marte Mapu’s hit separated Wright from it. Gonzalez remained upright after being struck by Tagovailoa, demonstrating remarkable balance.
