Jones Leads Group Of Young, Diverse Running Backs Over Lions
Beginning a healthy rushing attack in the middle of the second quarter,Matt Jones helped pave the way for the team's young group of running backs against Detroit.
Chris Thompson glanced to his right, to Matt Jones’ locker, and smiled as he began to consider the possibilities of the Redskins running attack this season.
He had good reason.
A helping part of the team’s impressive 179-yard rushing attack against the Lions during Thursday night’s 21-17 victory, Thompson, along with the rest of the Redskins offense, became the beneficiary of Jones’ tone-setting 44-yard rushing night.
