Patriots RB Lewis leaves with knee injury

Possibly outside of winning in Seattle, against a then 2-3 Seahawks team, the Panthers have yet to stake claim to a signature win, something with an exclamation point attached to it. This could be that game for them. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Washington dropped seven passes, the most for the team in one game in eight seasons and that hurt the squad’s chances last week.

“I think there’s no doubt that we said at the beginning of the year that you never want to have to be playing catch up”. “I’m glad we have him”. New England lost 11 yards on a running play, two on a punt return, and played its way into six third downs offensively. The New England Patriots were able to take a 14-0 lead with just six plays and the 5-yard run of Blount.

Julian Edelman and Blount had already scored by the time the Redskins snapped the ball a second time.

The Redskins have the undesirable task of trying to be the team to stop the Patriots from completing a flawless first half of the season. Down two touchdowns, the Redskins were forced to punt, but got the ball back via the rare Tom Brady interception. “They had the long drive and got the onside kick, then we had the turnover. We just kept getting in our own way”, receiver Brandon LaFell said afterward. “That was definitely helpful”.

Cousins finished 22-of-40 passing for 217 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

After shooting themselves in the foot all game, Washington finally scored a touchdown late in the fourth quarter on a pass from Cousins to tight end Jordan Reed.

“You put us anywhere, in any situation, we’ll figure out a way to come out (in good shape)”, said Bolden. “It’s encouraging to know that today was more of a fluke than a norm”.

The score was better compared to the last visit of Washington to Foxborough in 2007 when the New England Patriots won 52-7. New England’s 27 points against the Redskins are a season low. The same can not be said, though, for the Giants’ defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo.

“We’ve had a lot of guys shuffling in and out of the game plan”, said LeGarrette Blount, who ran for 129 yards and a touchdown on a career-high 29 carries.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that Lewis suffered a torn ACL in Sunday’s 27-10 win over the Redskins.

“It’s bad. I mean, he’s one of your brothers”, Edelman added.

Washington had two weeks to celebrate its comeback from a 24-point deficit against Tampa Bay on October 25.

With 37 rushing plays and 39 passes, the Patriots had their most balanced offense of the season. They have changed the focus and method in the way they tackle each team week after week, and this week a few analysts have predicted they will go with a strong ground game to punch holes in the Washington defense.

The Patriots were moving again when Edelman fumbled. We still have four NFC East games left to play.

Stephen Gostkowski kicked a pair of short field goals for New England – his 27th and 28th in a row without a miss, his 51st straight at Gillette Stadium. He still leads the National Football League in sacks, despite the fact they have him setting the edge, playing containment and sometimes giving him flat/curl responsibility.
