Matt Jones, run game powers Redskins to second consecutive win

LANDOVER, Md. -- A few days before the most productive game of his career, Washington Redskins running back Matt Jones noticed on film the difference in his two halves the previous week. In one half, he was hesitant, hit the wrong hole and failed to maximize the yards available. In the second half, he ran with power.

He liked the second half better. So, too, did the Redskins. But the question before the Redskins’ 31-20 win over the Cleveland Browns, though, was this: Would Jones carry over the momentum from the fourth quarter of the Giants’ game, in which he gained 35 yards and ran the way Washington has wanted?
