After a sloppy start for the offense in the first quarter, it was the Patriots special teams unit that once again provided points.

Not that we're counting, but the #Patriots defense & special teams have scored four touchdowns this season.

Matthew Slater waited 12 damn years to score a TD and Chase Winovich gets one in his sixth game.

First NFL reception for Gunner Olszewski. A great story from Division II Bemidji State.

A 7-0 NE after one quarter courtesy of Brandon Bolden and Chase Winovich.

In the second quarter, Brandon Bolden found the end zone for the third consecutive game.

Three consecutive games with a touchdown for Patriots do-it-all back Brandon Bolden.

Leading 14-0, a few Patriots miscues and a little luck lead to a Giants comeback.
Golden Tate hauled in a 64 yard touchdown pass from Daniel Jones to get the Giants on the board.
SCORING UPDATE: Jones completes a 64yd pass to Tate, who battles with Jones & comes away wi/the football as he takes off for the TD. Longest pass play of the year given up by the defense, eclipsing the 45yd completion back in Week 1 vs Pitt. Pats Lead 14-7 w.6:05 left in the half

Markus Golden then recovered a Tom Brady fumble and returned the ball 42 yards to tie the game at 14 all.
From @ESPNStatsInfo: This is the first time since Week 12 of 2017 that Tom Brady has thrown an interception and lost a fumble in the same game.

Needing a rally, the Patriots responded with a Tom Brady rushing touchdown to regain the lead before halftime.
The Patriots would never again lose the lead on this night.

The Patriots offense continued to sputter to open the second half, but the defense continued to keep the game close.

Stephen Gilmore by far is the best corner in the game right now. #shutdown #numberone

Disappointing end to a solid drive. The Patriots ran 16 plays for 60yds, burning 9:25 off the clock. Nugent just couldn't finish after missing the 40yd field goal.

Tough night running the football. The Patriots have been stopped for no gain or a loss a total of 8 times tonight:
Michel: No Gain (6)

The score remained 21-14 Patriots after three quarters.
With the offense unable to get much going, the defense made more big plays.
Kyle Van Noy returned a fumble 22 yards for a touchdown to push the Patriots lead back to 14 .

With five minutes remaining, the offense put the game away when Tom Brady became the oldest quarterback to rush for two touchdowns in a game.

With that TD run Tom Brady becomes the first 42-year-old QB to run for two touchdowns in a game. Impressive.
— Andy Nesbitt (@anezbitt) October 11, 2019
At 42 years, 68 days old, Tom Brady is the oldest player to have multiple rush TD in a game in NFL history.
Prior mark was set by Doug Flutie – age 41 years, 17 days on Nov. 9, 2003. h/t @EliasSports

Stephon Gilmore has been targeted six times. He has an interception and four pass breakups. One of those PBUs led to John Simon's interception.

The Patriots would improve to 6-0 with a 35-14 victory.
