The 2015 NFL playoffs are upon us. Beginning this weekend, the top teams in the NFC and AFC will fight for the right to meet in 50. Before the action kicks off with , I thought I'd Furkan Korkmaz Jersey examine the strengths and weakne ses of all 12 playoff teams, in an effort to paint a more complete picture of the combatants about to square off for football's ultimate prize. Below, you'll find the strengths and weakne ses of each team in the NFC field, listed according to playoff seeding.1) Carolina Panthers*Next matchup: vs. //, Sunday, Jan. 17, 1:05 p.m. ET, FOX *Biggest strengths: The ' defensive front seven (defensive line and linebackers) are arguably the best unit in the NFL. and command the headlines with their spectacular play and sideline-to-sideline dominance, but Carolina's defensive line also routinely owns the line of scrimmage behind and . The (allowing 88.4 rushing yards per game) and (44). Given the importance of creating chaos at the point of attack, the ' defense is capable of sparking a deep postseason run.Biggest weakne ses: Despite 's MVP-caliber campaign, the ' pa sing game remains the biggest weakne s on a squad that finished the regular season with a 15-1 record and (31.2 points per game). The team lacks a true WR1; opponents will make a concerted effort to neutralize tight end (the only player who cracked 1,000 receiving yards this season) with brackets and double coverage down the field. Although Jr., and have produced a handful of splash plays throughout the season, the jury is still out as to whether they can produce in a pre surized environment with a potential title on the line.2) Arizona CardinalsNext matchup: vs. //, Saturday, Jan. 16, 8:15 p.m. ET, NBCBiggest strengths: The ' high-powered offense is problematic for opponents due to their talent and depth on the perimeter. The WR corps, in particular, is full of versatile athletes capable of working between the hashes on a variety of intermediate routes ( and ) or stretching the field on an a sortment of vertical routes ( and ). With quarterback thriving as a pinpoint pa ser in Bruce Arians' scheme, the ' "bombs away" attack has all of the nece sary components to attack defenses at every level.Biggest weakne ses: The ' offensive line woes haven't prevented Arians' troops from lighting up scoreboards around the NFL, but the unit remains a huge question mark heading into the playoffs. Despite surrendering just 27 sacks during the regular season, the ' front line has been pummeled by ultra-athletic pa s rushers off the edges. Thus, Arians could be forced to abandon his vertical pa sing game when facing a defense with multiple disruptors at the point of attack. 3) Minnesota VikingsBiggest strengths: At a time when most offenses are building around their quarterbacks and dynamic pa sing games, the have the luxury of utilizing an old-school approach headed by workhorse runner . The three-time rushing leader remains the most dominant playmaker at the position at age 30, exhibiting a hard-hitting running style that makes him nearly impo sible to contain with an eight- or nine-man front. Given the ' sterling record when Peterson notches 20-plus carries (8-1) or surpa ses the 100-yard mark (7-0), Peterson is the key to the team's playoff hopes.Biggest weakne ses: Quarterback is the X-factor for the heading into the tournament. The second-year pro has been an efficient game manager for the team, but he needs to become more of a playmaker for the to advance. Bridgewater needs to push the ball down the field effectively to prevent opponents from condensing the field with loaded boxes and tight coverage. If Bridgewater is unable to find a way to utilize and as vertical threats, the ' playoff journey could be short.4) Washington RedskinsBiggest strengths: It is no coincidence quarterback has played well since returned to the lineup after a first half interrupted by The spectacular playmaker is the most explosive big-play receiver in the NFL, and his presence gives the one of the most dynamic WR corps in the game. With Jackson joining tight end and receivers and on the perimeter, Cousins has a plethora of options to target to exploit the most vulnerable defender in the back end. This is a huge advantage for a team that's beginning to steamroll opponents with an electric "dink-and-dunk" pa sing game.Biggest weakne ses: The ' opportunistic defense has keyed their surprising playoff run by getting timely stops in key moments, but opposing coaches will attack the front line to see how well it holds up against a punishing ground attack. The surrender 4.8 rush yards per attempt, , which is significant in a conference defined by physicality and toughne s. Given the number of top rushing offenses (Carolina Dakota Mathias Jersey , Seattle, Minnesota and Arizona) in the NFC bracket, the ' front seven will need to show opponents they can stop the run to move on in the tournament.5) Green Bay PackersBiggest strengths: Despite his subpar performance for most of the regular season, remains the driving force of the ' playoff future. The former MVP is not only capable of getting red hot from the pocket, but he is a magical playmaker capable of helping Green Bay score points in bunches. If he can achieve synergy with an underperforming receiver corps that desperately mi ses , Rodgers could spark a playoff run on the heels of a pa s-first offense that's a threat to find the end zone from anywhere on the field.Biggest weakne ses: The ' injury-riddled offensive line has struggled against premier pa s rushers. The unit surrendered 51 sacks during the regular season (), and the lack of solid pa s protection has disrupted Rodgers' timing and rhythm from the pocket. Most importantly, the leaky pocket has forced Rodgers to quickly abandon his reads and grounded the potent aerial attack. If the are unable to fix their offensive line heading into the playoffs, Green Bay could be one and done.6) Seattle SeahawksBiggest strengths: For all of the questions regarding the ' defense in the middle of the season, the unit remains the stingiest in the NFL. The not only have the top scoring defense (17.3 points allowed per game), but they have the top run defense (81.5 rushing yards allowed per game) and the second-ranked pa s defense (210.2 pa sing yards allowed per game). While the numbers certainly jump off the stat sheet, it has been the complementary play of the front seven and secondary that makes the ' defense a destructive force heading into the playoffs. From , and wreaking havoc off the edges to pummeling opponents venturing over the middle to the "Legion of Boom" suffocating pa s catchers down the field, the trot out a dynamic defense that ranks as the best in the NFL.Biggest weakne ses: Offensive line coach Tom Cable has worked miracles reshaping the ' line on the fly, but the unit remains a weakne s on a team loaded with all-stars. The front line has struggled creating a consistent push on the ground, and its inconsistent pa s protection has forced quarterback to run around like a madman on the perimeter. Although the unit has shown significant improvement down the stretch, the will have to work around the front line's flaws to make a sustained run in the postseason.Follow Bucky Brooks on Twitter .
