Falcons | Running game has taken a back seat

The Atlanta Falcons' rushing attack has taken a back seat in recent weeks based on the flow of their games. RB Michael Turner (groin) hasn't rushed for more than 100 yards in five games as the team has been forced to change their plan of attack. Turner has been dealing with a sore groin but won't point to that as an excuse. "My health has nothing to do with it," Turner said. "It's just the way the games have been going the past couple of weeks. In a game like New Orleans, you want to keep them off the field as much as possible, but we weren't able to do that with the way the situations turned out in the game. But we do need more production out of the running game." Turner expects to see plenty of touches as the team looks to gain more consistency heading into the playoffs.
