The Denver Broncos have spent a lot of time drilling the Red Zone so far in training camp, and with good reason. Andrew Mason pointed out on Denverbroncos.com, that Denver’s offense ranked last in the league in red zone touchdowns per trip and the defense ranked 23rd in touchdowns allowed per red zone trip.
We’ll address the offense in another article, but for now I want to focus on the defense.
The Denver defense took a huge step back in this area in 2017 going from 8th in the league in red zone touchdowns allowed all the way down to 23rd, allowing 24 touchdowns inside the 20 yard line last year.
