Matt Jones runs over St Louis Rams in Washington Redskins win

Rookie running back Matt Jones ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns as the Washington Redskins beat the St Louis Rams 24-10 at FedEx Field.

Washington took the lead with Jones scoring his first touchdown with the team after breaking away for a 39-yard score.

Kicker Dustin Hopkins added three points to that lead later in the half before quarterback Kirk Cousins found Pierre Garcon for a four-yard touchdown that gave the Redskins a 17-0 lead at the break.

The Rams would try to get themselves back into the game after the break, ending their first drive with a field goal before Nick Foles threw down the field to find Kenny Britt for a 30-yard score to bring St Louis back to within a touchdown.

However, Jones would find the endzone one more time in the final three minutes of the game to seal the Redskins' first win of the season while the Rams fall to 1-1.
