Key matchup in Cowboys-Redskins game: Byron Jones vs. Jordan Reed

Cowboys safety Byron Jones vs. Redskins tight end Jordan Reed Reed is among the top at his position in the league, a hybrid-type threat who caught 11 touchdown passes a season ago. And Reed remains someone who can do damage against the Cowboys, although he had only seven catches for 78 yards in two games against Dallas last season. That is in large part thanks to safety Byron Jones, who has thrived early in his career covering versatile tight ends. Jones will be charged with that responsibility once again this week, and it’s a matchup the Cowboys must win.
