New England Patriots corner Christian Gonzalez continued his high-level of play this season with an acrobatic interception on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts while being face-masked.
The interception was part of a productive day for the rising star defensive back, who allowed no catches and no yards in the game. He was only targeted once with the Colts mostly throwing away from him.
It was his second interception of the season. He made a tough read in a tight space and leveraged himself in front of the receiver to come down with the grab. The turnover showed off his athleticism, ball skills and overall toughness as a playmaker.

The Patriots ended up losing a tough game by a 25-24 margin. It has been a difficult season for New England, but Gonzalez has been a bright spot for the team as a major building block for the future of the defense.
