PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Michael Vick’s passes are landing in defender’s hands at an alarming rate.
It doesn’t mean Vick has suddenly turned into Spergon Wynn.
Vick has thrown more interceptions — seven — five games into this season than he did all of last year when he led the Philadelphia Eagles to the NFC East title.
His turnovers are just one of several reasons why the Eagles are off to a 1-4 start in a season that began with Super Bowl expectations.
But a closer look at Vick’s picks shows the Pro Bowl quarterback isn’t really at fault for at least five, perhaps six of them. A combination of mistakes by receivers and poor protection has hurt Vick.
