When the Patriots tweeted that Stephon Gilmore was “the best corner in the NFL”, Gilmore had one response.
“No debate,” he tweeted back.

In a 13-9 win on Sunday against the Cowboys, the Patriots cornerback stepped up big-time against Cowboys’ wide receiver Amari Cooper. Gilmore was on Cooper for 26 of his 30 routes and held him to zero catches. In the second quarter, he picked off a pass that Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott thew to Cooper and dove for the interception – tumbling to the ground with the ball securely in his hands.
