Matt Jones Grabs 78-Yard Touchdown Vs. 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.
