Clamping down on the top Wide Receivers

The following statistics show how teams have defensed the starting/top two wide receivers of the opposing team throughout the season. All plays where a pass was directed to one of the two "prime target" WR's is counted, with such things as a defensive pass interference call counting as a "completed" pass for the appropriate yardage to fully reflect what took place.

Do you have something with the stats of "covered" WRs vs. the cornerback doing the covering? Sort of a "points allowed" by the CB position?

I just pasted from that site, thought it was interesting

Pretty solid for my Chiefs, as I anticipated (it's the #3 and #4 WRs that kill 'em), but I'm not sold on the accuracy of these numbers completely.

Thing is (and it would apply to just about every stat in football), the respective teammates around the cornerbacks in question are so different. It's a lot easier to be a cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens than it is for the Kansas City Chiefs, for example.
