I haven't really noticed it that much this season, and only after the Vikings/Packers game last Friday did I really here about it from the plethora of football analysts on ESPN. Yes, a few tackles were missed, but some good blocking and quick moves contributed to that as well.
What I have noticed more of, is corners and safeties getting beat when they try to tackle low. I vividly remember Larry Centers jumping over Darren Woodson on MNF many years back, it was amazing. Deion took him out low earlier in the game I believe. I saw similar, but not as spectacular, plays two or three times just this past weekend. I am not saying it is a bad play by the defender, I just think it is a great move by the ball carrier.
