The New England Patriots pushed their record to 9-2 with a 27-14 victory over the New York Jets, and players like Christian Gonzalez are a huge reason why the team continues to play lights out.

The later years of Bill Belichick’s tenure were marked by uneven performance and internal challenges.

A breath of fresh air has come ever since Mike Vrabel was brought on as the new head coach.

Gonzalez, who was forced out in Week 1 due to a lingering hamstring injury, is going viral this week after his team posted a picture of him on social media wearing a shirt that said, “NBA On Prime.”

The discussion quickly went from the shirt to Christian Gonzalez’s chin.

Christian Gonzalez is one of the more unique players in the entire National Football League.

However, it’s not his play on the field that is getting attention from fans. It’s a picture from the Patriots’ X account that has social media going crazy over his unique chin.

Check out some of the responses:

“He gotta grow a full beard man,” one fan said.

“Cover that chin up, buddy. I got kids in the house,” a second fan said of Christian Gonzalez.

“Had no idea Peter Griffin was playing for the Patriots,” a third person reacted.

“Bro got a lil booty on his chin smh,” a fourth fan wrote.

“If he were in a movie, he would star as the Crimson Chin in the live-action The Fairly OddParents movie,” one final fan added.

One thing Christian Gonzalez likes about his new head coach is his ability to try to trash-talk them and get under their skin.

“He tries,” Christian Gonzalez admitted after the Patriots defeated the Jets on Thursday night.

“He does sometimes, but I mean, it’s kind of just how he is as a person, as a coach, as a player. He does a great job. He knows how to fire everybody up. So, he has a couple of times, but it’s for the best.”

The entire team has responded well to Vrabel, which is why they hold the best record in the NFL, sitting at 9-2.
