Where they stand...
Here is a look at where the Vikings stand after five weeks:
* The Vikings offense struggles on first down (tied for 29th), on third down (27th) and in the red zone (31st). But the offense is still a respectable 14th, including -- surprise, surprise -- ninth in passing.
* The defense is seventh overall, fourth against the run and 17th against the pass. It also is tied for fifth in third-down defense.
* As previously mentioned, Brad Johnson has the 20th-highest passer rating (78.3), one spot ahead of Daunte Culpepper.
* Chester Taylor is fourth in the NFL in rushing, with 111 carries for 421 yards. He also is fourth in yards from scrimmage (539).
* Troy Williamson and Travis Taylor are two of nine players tied for 43rd in the NFL with 18 catches. Williamson is 37th in receiving yardage.
* Ryan Longwell is fifth in the NFL for points among kickers.

Yeah, they are not dominating. They need someone to step up at that position.
