No weakness goes unnoticed in the NFL, no flaw untested. At the halfway point of the season, all teams have issues, but several playoff contenders are conspicuously vulnerable.
For all their offensive might, the Minnesota Vikings are beginning to resemble a sieve on defense. Sunday night's 30-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers, in which both teams raced up and down the field at will, was a prime example.
Despite the presence of the NFL's defending rush champion, the Miami Dolphins' offense in general and Ricky Williams in particular have hit the skids. In his past five games, Williams is barely averaging 3 yards a carry, and in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts he carried only 13 times.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the Vikings have dropped two straight games and the Dolphins have lost two of their past three.
