The NFL Playoffs are all about exploiting weaknesses.

The awesome stats-centric NFL site Football Outsiders has rankings for all five units on each team (run offense, pass offense, run defense, pass defense, and special teams).

We took a look at these stats to find the one weak point on all 12 teams.

Some of what we found: The Packers and 49ers have terrible kickers, and the Ravens are way worse defensively than you realize.

Atlanta Falcons: Running the ball

Biggest weakness: Run offense (29th)/Special teams (29th)

Biggest strength: Pass offense (10th)

The Falcons can throw the ball (10th) and defend the pass (11th), but struggle to run the ball (29th) or stop the run (20th).



Baltimore Ravens: Stopping the run

Biggest weakness: Run defense (26th)

Biggest strength: Special teams (1st)/Run offense (7th)

The Ravens D has really fallen off this year. They're average against the pass (13th) and below average against the run (26th)



Cincinnati Bengals: Stopping the run

Biggest weakness: Run defense (23rd)

Biggest strength: Special teams (5th)/Pass defense (9th)

Their defense is way better than they're offense. But run D is their worst single unit, right in front of pass offensive (ranked 19th).
