Rams RB Jackson on verge of milestone year

(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson is on the verge of a milestone. Just 34 more yards rushing, and he will become the seventh player in NFL history to gain 1,000 yards in seven or more consecutive seasons. Only Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin, Thurman Thomas, Eric Dickerson and LaDainian Tomlinson have done it. Jackson knows he is close to being in elite company going into Saturday's game at Pittsburgh. And it would give Jackson something to smile about in another lost year for the Rams. He has played in just one playoff game in eight seasons with St. Louis.

He would rather have more victories than an NFC-worst two. A chance to earn a Pro Bowl spot? He would rather compete for an opportunity to make the playoffs. On Tuesday, Long sat in a small...
