Last week, I finished my series looking at the state of the offenses in the NFC North. This week, it’s finally time to look at the defenses, and we might as well rip the bandage off all at once and consider the state of cornerbacks in the Black and Blue Division.
Admittedly, a lot more goes into what sort of passer rating a team allows than the play of its corners, but it is a place to start the conversation. TeamRankings.com tells us that Minnesota was 5th in the NFL in allowing an average passer rating of 83, while no other NFC North team finished in the top half.
