It wasn’t perfect for Tom Brady on Sunday during the Patriots 27-10 win over Washington at Gillette Stadium, but when it came to his performance on third down, it was pretty close.

Brady finished the afternoon 10-of-13 (77%) on third down on Sunday, including one touchdown and seven first downs. The only real mistake he made came on an ill-advised red zone interception, his second pick of 2015 but the first real mental error he’s made throwing the football in an otherwise flawless season.

Overall the Patriots finished Sunday’s game converting 9-of-16 on the afternoon, their third best performance of 2015.
