New England Patriots: 3 Bold predictions vs. Redskins in Week 5

1. Brady will throw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns

The final prediction for the New England Patriots before they head into the nation’s capital to face off against the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon is that veteran and future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Tom Brady will have an enormous game offensively.

Brady is off to a strong start to the 2019 campaign as he takes part in his 20th season in the NFL and with the Patriots. Through four games this year, Brady has converted on 90 of his 145 total passing attempts to gather a completion percentage of 62.1 percent for New England.

While averaging 7.3 yards per completion, Brady has totaled 1,061 yards through the air while recording seven passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown and has thrown for just one interception in the Patriots’ four victories.

Among other players in the NFL, Brady ranks 15th in passing yards, 17th in passing yards per game (265.2), 13th in total completions and is tied for 10th in passing touchdowns. His 145 total pass attempts also ranks him tied for ninth in the league, which proves just how much the Patriots rely on their veteran quarterback to lead the way.

On Sunday against Washington, which holds a shaky defensive unit on the other side of the ball, Brady will go off for over 300 passing yards and three touchdowns while leading his team to yet another win to start the season.

In four games this year, Brady has been able to surpass the 300-yard passing mark twice in those four games, while recording two or more touchdown passes in three of those four games. He threw for a season-high 341 yards and three touchdowns in the regular-season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Foxborough.

Throughout the course of his career, Brady has been the anchor of this Patriots offense and has always been able to perform to the Hall-of-Fame level we’ve seen numerous times when facing off against a team with a questionable defense on the other side of the field.

On Sunday in Week 5 against Washington, Brady will prove that to be the case once again when he puts on one of the top offensive performances for quarterbacks around the league during the fifth week of the regular season.
