Offense/Defense Rankings:No. 3 (26 Rush, 3 Pass) & No. 8 (3 Rush, 17 Pass)
Turnover Department: T2 ( 7)
The Skinny: Despite being held to a season-low 27 points against the Redskins, the Patriots cruised to another victory. LeGarrette Blount rushed for 129 yards as the Patriots featured a balance attack with 37 rush plays and 39 pass plays. Injuries continue to mount though as both LT Sebastian Vollmer (head) and RB Dion Lewis (knee) didn’t finish the contest.
They Said It: Tim Healy, a Boston Globe correspondent, says the improved Pats defense continually stymied Washington on Sunday.
