It was a good sign late in the year to see the Vikings allow Rhodes to stay on the field every down, even tracking Jordy Nelson to the slot for a few snaps. The competition in the NFC North is absolutely brutal for a No. 1 cornerback. Rhodes will have to check Nelson, Megatron and the Bears' twin towers for six more games. The duos in Atlanta, Washington and Tampa Bay will also provide tricky matchups. With weekly opportunities to get embarrassed, Rhodes must learn to live with being the other guy in a few highlights.
