Falcons' Jackson applauds commitment to run game

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) Steven Jackson said Wednesday running the ball in the NFL requires patience and commitment.

Patience can be a difficult trait for a team like the Atlanta Falcons (3-9), who are tied for the NFC's worst record as they prepare for Sunday's game at Green Bay. That's why Jackson applauded the team's commitment to the run in last weeks' 34-31 overtime win over the Bills.

Jackson ran for two touchdowns and set seasons highs with 23 carries for 84 yards rushing against Buffalo as Atlanta snapped a five-game losing streak. Receiver Roddy White also had his best game of the season with 10 catches for 143 yards, giving the Falcons the balanced offense that has been missing.
