Halftime: Patriots jump out to 17-3 lead on Redskins

The Patriots lead the Redskins 17-3 at halftime after mistakes from both sides have kept this match-up entertaining, if nothing else.

It has been a bit of a hectic first half, but the New England Patriots lead the Washington Redskins 17-3 after 30 minutes of football in week nine.

The Patriots would begin the game by driving straight down the field for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead on a Tom Brady to Julian Edelman short throw. The touchdown could have happened a bit earlier had it not been for a egregious drop by Dion Lewis, who was wide open in the end zone after a beautiful double move and perfectly placed ball by Tom Brady.
