Improved Red Zone Offense Helps Falcons to Victory

In the practices leading up to their interconference matchup in Jacksonville, the Falcons spent a lot of time focused on one of their biggest issues: red zone offense.

Atlanta struggled mightily inside the opponent’s 20 throughout its recent six-game losing streak, and as a result, Matt Ryan and Co. have experienced a considerable drop in overall production. Given that five of their seven defeats were tightly-contested, the Falcons knew they needed to start capitalizing on more of their prime opportunities.

And that's exactly what they did against the Jaguars. The Falcons on Sunday scored two touchdowns inside the red zone—one a Devonta Freeman run, the other a Julio Jones catch.
