03 secondary was probably worse though.

Allowed 3rd most rushing yards and allowed the highest YPC in the NFL at 5.2 allowed.
So yeah. This is worse, but the standard has lowered. Right now there are 4 teams allowing more than 5 YPC. KC was the only team over 5.0 allowed in 03. Overall it's worse, but relative to the rest of the NFL it's not.
The passing defense is WAY worse though. Wesley, Woods, McCleon, Bartee and Warfield outperformed this group.
