Matt Jones Displays Speed, Power Against Saints

While opponents often mistaken Matt Jones as just as big bruising running back, the rookie once again showed that he's got some speed on a 78-yard touchdown catch against the Saints.

It was a touchdown catch that was capped by a point to his daughter in the stands at FedExField. She was attending her first NFL game.

In the second quarter of the Washington Redskins’ 47-14 victory over the New Orleans Saints, rookie running back Matt Jones showed he’s a lot more than the prototypical bruiser, a label that was applied to him well before he was selected in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
