Sunday’s game against the Lions was certainly not Matt Jones‘ best game.
The second-year pro out of Florida finished with a measly 27 yards on 10 carries, and struggled on blitz protection. However, his two fumbles were especially troubling. The worst fumble happened on first and goal at the five yard line, as Jones was driving to pick up some extra yardage. The Lions recovered the ball in the end zone, giving them a touchback and taking away what in hindsight could have been the decisive touchdown or field goal.
The Redskins recovered Jones’ other fumble.
