Patriots’ Stephon Gilmore Calls Out Zach Ertz For Crying Too Much During Game (VIDEO)

The New England Patriots took a trip to Philly fresh off their first loss of the season and a bye week ready to get back on the winning track.

That’s exactly what they did with a 17-10 victory that moved the Patriots to 9-1 on the season with Philadelphia dropping to 5-5.

In the midst of that game was a battle between Eagles tight end Zach Ertz and one of the best cover guys in the NFL, New England cornerback Stephon Gilmore.

Following the matchup, Gilmore had something to say about Ertz and he did not mince words.

Stephon Gilmore asked about getting under Zach Ertz’s skin:

“Yeah, he was crying. He do that on film a lot. If you get into him. If he don’t get the ball or don’t get the ball, he cry. But he’s a good tight end though. He’s a great player.” pic.twitter.com/jQo4FuwfJ8

Stephon Gilmore broke down how he covered Zach Ertz. Said he had to slow himself down since he usually covers faster players. Even let Ertz get half a step and then close quickly after the route declared.
