The New England Patriots improved to 5-0 after their 33-7 victory over the Washington Redskins. It was an overall impressive performance by the Patriots on both sides of the ball.
It was also a tale of two halves for New England’s offense in Week 5. Aside from their six-play, 75-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown midway through the first quarter, the unit looked out of sorts. However, they looked much better in the second half.
Defensively, it was another excellent outing for the Patriots. They allowed a touchdown early due to poor tackling, but they didn’t let that deter them from putting together another stellar all-around defensive performance.
