Tom Brady moved up to third in the all-time NFL rankings for passing yards as he helped extend the New England Patriots' 100 per cent start to the season.

Brady threw for 348 yards to move past Brett Favre and is just 17 yards behind Peyton Manning, who sits second behind leader Drew Brees.

The Patriots won 33-7 to improve to 5-0 despite a slow start against the winless Washington Redskins, who took the lead through rookie Steven Sims' 65-yard touchdown.

Brady threw touchdowns to Julian Edelman, Brandon Bolden and Ryan Izzo, while Sony Michel rushed for another. Debutant kicker Mike Nugent added two field goals and three extra points.
