ATLANTA -- Dan Quinn believes his Atlanta Falcons go through everything together as a team, even in the fourth week of the preseason.For Matt Ryan and Devonta Freeman, that meant playing one snap. For Terron Ward, it meant playing virtually the full game.Ward ran for two touchdowns, boosting his chances for the third and possibly final roster spot at running back, and the Falcons beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 17-15 on Thursday night.Ward missed the last two games with an ankle sprain but returned in time to show he can be the teams third running back, behind Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. He ran for 62 yards on 22 carries.With Freeman and top backup Tevin Coleman each limited to one carry, Ward had a busy day. The second-year back had an especially full workload after fullback Will Ratelle left with an ankle injury.It left me out there by myself, but as a running back sometimes you have to show you can shoulder the load, and Ill do it every time if I have to, Ward said.Ward is competing with rookie Brandon Wilds, held out with a knee injury, to be the third running back.Ryan handed off to Freeman on Atlantas first play. Both jogged off the field after Freemans 3-yard gain.So why play only one snap?I think its important that we go through everything together as a team, whether they play one play or for a guy like Terrons case, nearly the whole game, Quinn said. Thats what we stand for as a team.Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley held out 28 players, including all starters except kicking specialists.Each team featured its third-string quarterback. Rookie Brandon Allen completed 17 of 26 passes for 164 yards with two touchdowns and one interception for Jacksonville.He has been what we expected, said Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell. ...

You see guys like Shaq Evans coming back, we kind of bring them back, and to have a couple big plays is huge for him.Matt Schaub, who played behind Ryan, completed his only attempt for 5 yards for Atlanta before Matt Simms played the remainder of the game. Simms completed 16 of 23 passes for 217 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions -- each off the hands of rookie tight end Austin Hooper.The Falcons finished the preseason with a 3-1. The Jaguars were 1-3.POSITION BATTLESJaguars: Nick Marshall and Josh Johnson, competing for a spot as a Jaguars backup cornerback, each had an interception. Johnson fumbled a kickoff return in the closing seconds of the first half.Falcons: It was a tough night for Hooper, the third-round pick from Stanford. Hooper, listed as the top backup to starter Jacob Tamme, is one of five tight ends on the roster. He could fall behind D.J. Tialavea on the depth chart.
