FOXBOROUGH, Mass.— There’s no official stat for these things, but it’s a fair bet this was the longest Stephon Gilmore had ever waited after a game to hit the showers. The Patriots had just made their eighth Super Bowl this century, and one of the reasons this time was New England cornerback Gilmore (and his right hand), who will be playing in his first.
On a fourth-and-15 with 1:35 to play and the Jaguars trailing by four, Blake Bortles stepped up in the pocket and lofted a pass some 30 yards down the field to receiver Dede Westbrook.
