Defensive backs put Eagles in a corner

Cornerbacks are to the Eagles defense what wide receivers are to the offense.

It's been evident throughout the entire season, but Aaron Rodgers and the Packers hammered the point home in their 27-13 win on Monday night. The Eagles won't be a legitimate playoff contender until they have a pair of cornerbacks that can consistently cover good - not even great - NFL wide receivers.

They don't need two No. 1 corners like the Broncos have with Aqib Talib and Chris Harris. They just need one and a competent No. 2. What they have instead are two borderline No.
