WATCH: Jaret Patterson scores touchdown on Washington’s opening drive

The Washington Football Team engineered perhaps their best opening drive of the season in the Week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles to take an early 7-0 lead.

DeAndre Carter got things started for Washington, returning the opening kickoff to the 33-yard line.

Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke completed all three passes for 50 yards on the opening drive, and rookie running back Jaret Patterson, making his first career start, did the rest. Patterson carried the ball three times for 17 yards on the drive, ending with this 11-yard touchdown run.

It was a beautiful opening drive from Washington offensive coordinator Scott Turner.

Washington leads the Eagles 13-7 in the second quarter. Heinicke has completed 11 of 12 passes for 137 yards in the first half. Patterson leads Washington with 28 yards rushing and also has a reception for 12 yards.
