A Closer Look: Red zone inefficiency dooms the Falcons

In a regression-filled season, the Falcons’ once dynamic offense stumbled in numerous areas. To average nearly 13 fewer points per game with nearly the same personnel from the previous season must be infuriating for the entire organization. It shows that their massive decline can’t be based on bad luck or poor execution. There are internal issues within the offense. Since their Christmas Eve debacle in New Orleans, the Falcons went five of sixteen in the red zone to finish the season. That is a deplorable conversion rate for any team, let alone one with championship aspirations.
