ASHBURN, Va. -- The play unfolded like one earlier this season: Washington Redskins running back Matt Jones hurdling a player on the ground, trying to get extra yardage. For the second time this season, it resulted in a Redskins turnover.
And now, 10 games into his rookie season, Jones has a big issue with ball security. He’s now fumbled four times in 114 touches. If he ever wants to supplant Alfred Morris as the Redskins’ top running back, then he must hold onto the ball.
Jones wasn’t the only one with this issue in Sunday’s 44-16 loss to Carolina.
