johnson points to injuries - Sheppard missed three games and nickel back Rod Hood has been sidelined the last three - and other factors such as the Eagles had big leads in many of their games and played a bend-but-don't-break defense.

"We have good cover guys," Johnson said. "We've had some guys banged up a little bit. I have no problem with the overall pass coverage. It's a misleading stat sometimes because of the situation in the game. We might be up by two or three touchdowns and just say, 'Hey, you can have all the short passes that you want.' It's not a stat I worry about. I worry more about points scored, turnovers and getting off the field on third down and red zone. I'm not that concerned about it except the big plays."
