Last week: 4 (+0)

Record: 6-3

Holy crap this secondary is terrible. They better hope that Aqib Talib making his debut this week and Patrick Chung returning from injury fixes their pass coverage issues. I just can’t see a team with this poor of pass coverage winning the Super Bowl. It’s worse than last year. Besides, no Super Bowl runner up has won the Super Bowl in 40 years. On the flip side, if Talib and Chung can shore up their only real flaw, all of a sudden, this team that already ranks 3^rd in the NFL in points differential becomes awfully scary.
