What happened: Daniel Jones recorded a five-yard rushing touchdown in Sunday's matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders. The quarterback kept the ball himself and lowered his shoulder to cross the goal line.

Why it matters: The rushing score offered a rare offensive breakthrough against a disruptive Washington defensive front. The right side of the Indianapolis line yielded consistent pressure throughout the afternoon, leading to an interception and a lost fumble from the pocket.

By the numbers: Jones managed just 86 passing yards on a 12-of-22 completion rate before relying on his legs for the touchdown.

What to watch: Indianapolis will need to stabilize its pass protection to put together additional scoring drives.
