Why Lions’ red zone offense could rebound against the Cardinals

After a sloppy loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, the Detroit Lions move on to the Arizona Cardinals in their first road test of the season. Surprisingly, the Lions offense has been a struggle for the team, as the defense has been holding opponents to 20 points per game so far, and special teams have done their job when asked. The offense’s biggest issue right now is how effective they are in the red zone. After having a few problems against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, scoring on 50 percent of their red zone attempts, they struggled mightily against Tampa Bay, scoring on just one attempt out of the seven they had, a measly 14 percent.
