In the first quarter the Patriots offense struggled early, and the Redskins kept the game surprisingly close.
The Patriots defense however, continued its strong start to 2019, a theme that would continue throughout the afternoon.
The current league leader in sacks among rookies is #Patriots 3rd round pick Chase Winovich. He increased his lead from 3 to 4 after sacking Colt McCoy on the #Redskins first drive.

That's the longest offensive play allowed by the Patriots' defense this season, eclipsing Pittsburgh WR Washington's 45yd catch in Week 1 and Buffalo RB Frank Gore's 41yd run last week.

Like they have all year so far, the Patriots responded when Julian Edelman hauled in a six pass from Tom Brady but a Mike Nugent PAT failed.
7-6 Redskins after one quarter of play.

Although the Patriots defense settled in after Simms big touchdown, the offense remained in a funk, and had to settle for another Mike Nugent field Goal to push the lead to 12-7 at the half.

From @ESPNStatsInfo: Brandon Bolden's 29-yard TD reception is the 2nd-longest of his career (63-yard TD at the Broncos in 2015). It's his 3rd catch this season.

After failing to gain traction in the first half, the Patriots running game came alive in the third as Sony Michel capped off another scoring drive.
26-7 New England through three quarters.

The Patriots have now had five or more sacks in four straight games, which is the first time in franchise history they've been able to do that.

The Patriots would leave Washington with a convincing 33-7 victory to move to 5-0 on the season.
The 2019 Patriots joined the 1974, 2004, 2007, 2015, and 2019 with 5-0 records.
