New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram doesn't downplay what could happen Sunday in the regular-season finale against the Atlanta Falcons.

Ingram enters Week 17 with 940 yards rushing, and 60 yards on the ground will give the Saints running back his first 1,000-yard rushing campaign on his six-year career.

The thought of accomplishing the yardage benchmark, which is widely regarded as a gold standard for running backs, carries significance to Ingram.

"It will mean a lot," Ingram said Monday in a teleconference with Saints beat writers. "Every running back wants to rush for 1,000 yards and I've been close a couple of times. So, it's definitely something I'll be looking forward to and trying my best to accomplish while getting us a final win of the season."
