Christian Gonzalez: I'm going into Sunday with the same confidence I always have

Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez is coming off a terrible game against the Packers, but he said on Thursday that it won't be hanging over his head in Munich this Sunday.

Gonzalez was no match for Packers wideouts Matthew Golden and Christian Watson as they posted 10 catches for 187 yards with Gonzalez in coverage during Green Bay's 45-27 win in New England. It was the first time that Next Gen Stats has ever recorded a cornerback allowing more than 80 receiving yards to two receivers in the same game and head coach Mike Vrabel said the team and the corner expect better play than they got on Sunday.

On Thursday, Gonzalez was asked about his level of confidence that he can provide that kind of play.

"As confident as I always am," Gonzalez said, via 98.5 The Sports Hub. "It's a week-to-week league. Like I've told you all week, it's a new week. The same confidence I always have is the same confidence I'm always going with."

Gonzalez has had more good days than bad days over the course of his NFL career, but the film of last week is the freshest and the Lions could use Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams to put Gonzalez to the test early in this weekend's game.
