Roddy White's climb up the Falcons' receiving chart has not been quiet. The Falcons wide receiver is rarely silent. White caught 10 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday night's 41-14 blowout of the Jaguars. The spotlight of a nationally televised game doesn't hurt. White went over 1,000 yards for the fifth consecutive season, becoming the first receiver in Falcons history to accomplish the feat. He became only the eighth player in NFL history to do so, joining Tim Brown (1993-99), Cris Carter (1993-97), Marvin Harrison (1999-06), Torry Holt (2000-07), Chad Ochocinco (2003-07), Jerry Rice (1989-96) and Reggie Wayne (2005-10).

Roddy White knows there will be growing pains for Julio Jones, the rookie wide receiver who had a tough day in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Texans. Jones dropped several passes, including a potential game-tying catch in the end zone as time expired that bounced off his hands. He was penalized for illegal touching less than a minute earlier when he caught a pass after stepping out of bounds. Jones also was caught too far downfield following a play in the second half that forced the Falcons to call timeout. Jones finished with four catches for 68 yards. "You are going to have games like that," said White, the veteran receiver. "He's still a rookie. People have to understand that. It's still"

As the Falcons continue their push toward the playoffs, they need Roddy White. Their No. 1 receiver, who entered the season with four straight 1,100-plus yard receiving campaigns, has struggled at times. He has been plagued by leg injuries and dropped passes. He had just one 100-yard game in the first nine contests. He's starting to put those troubles behind him, especially in the last two games. That's good news for the Falcons (7-4) as they play meaningful second-half games. So Roddy, what does it feel like to have back-to-back 100-yard receiving games?
