Are Jerry Jacobs and Cam Sutton the worst cornerback duo in the NFL?

That's where my attention gets grabbed. It's stuff like this that keeps me in front of this computer all the time. Because I know have to go see if this is true or false. Buckle up, We're going on a trip across the NFL.

Cameron Sutton and Jerry Jacobs do have a bit of a penchant for  letting some big plays happen. The Lions do have a secondary problem right now. But does it translate to them being the worst duo in the NFL? Let's take a look. Here are all 32 cornerback duos in the league and their stats this year:

Ok, so the answer is no. The Lions do not have the worst cornerback duo in the NFL. It's not good, but it's not the worst. It's one of the worst, but it's not the worst. Shockingly the worst is the 49ers. I had to do the math on that one multiple times to make sure I wasn't messing it up. That could affect the 49ers come playoff time. 

The Lions are in a four way tie with the Chargers, Eagles and Steelers for most touchdowns allowed. By the way, that Eagles group is pretty bad too.

I think this shows a few different things. The Lions need to reinvest in the secondary this offseason for sure. They also need to realize that Jerry Jacobs isn't ready to be a starter right now. He's given up the seventh most receiving yards among cornerbacks this season with 602 yards. He's given up the third most touchdowns with seven. They also show that success can be had despite a bad duo. Look at the worst numbers on here and then see how many of those teams are playoff discussion right now.
