FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Roddy White is not happy to find himself among the league leaders in personal fouls.

White, the Falcons’ three-time Pro Bowl receiver, has three personal fouls, more than any other offensive skills position player in the league, according to STATS LLC.

White was called for a personal foul and an offensive pass interference penalty in last week’s loss to New Orleans. He also had two drops, including one that was intercepted, and is well below his 2010 pace for catches, yards and touchdowns.

With the Falcons preparing for an important home game against Tennessee, White says he is determined to eliminate the penalties and improve his production.

The Falcons’ playoff hopes are on the line, and White says he is determined to “get back to doing everything right.”
