Patriots’ Stephon Gilmore tops off two-INT performance with perfect tweet

Stephon Gilmore continues to make a strong case for 2019 NFL Defensive Player Of the Year honors.

The New England Patriots cornerback tallied his fifth and sixth interceptions of the season during Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The second was a pick-six in the third quarter that extended the Pats lead to 17.

After his sensational performance, Gilmore shared the highlight of his pick-six and topped it off with a perfect tweet:

As great of a day as it was for Gilmore, the Patriots' lockdown corner believes it could have been even better. He wasn't satisfied with contributing "only" two of New England's four INTs.

"I should have had three. I should have had four," Gilmore said after the game.
