Daniel Jones scores first rushing touchdown since Nov. 2, 2025 in Colts' 30-13 win over Commanders
According to the Indianapolis Colts, Daniel Jones ran for a four-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter — his first rushing TD since Nov. 2, 2025 — helping the Colts beat the Washington Commanders 30-13 and move back to .500. The team noted Jones is "not even 10 months removed from the injury and surgery."
According to the Indianapolis Colts, Daniel Jones punched in a four-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, diving across the goal line to extend the lead to 27-13, as the Colts defeated the Washington Commanders 30-13. The team reported the play came against man-to-man coverage, which opened space for Jones to keep the ball.
The Colts' report states Jones' previous rushing touchdown came on Nov. 2, 2025. The club quoted Jones describing the play and his read of space — "We had a play there with Nick (Westbrook-Ikhine) coming back underneath. A collision there threw off his route," and "As I was rolling out, I felt it and felt the space there." Jones also said, "Definitely got to play better. Got to clean that up," and "Can't afford to turn the ball over like that." The report included Laquon Treadwell's praise for Jones and credited DeForest Buckner and the defense; the Colts said the win put them back at .500.
