If you haven’t heard already the Patriots offense has been in a bit of a rut when it comes to converting red zone drives into touchdowns.
The Pats lead the NFL in yards per game at 411.1, which is 20-plus yards more per contest than any other team, but regarding red zone efficiency, they’re a 50/50 proposition.
Currently, the Patriots score a touchdown on 50% of their red zone opportunities, which ranks tied for 17th in the NFL through the first eight weeks.
The problem has been exacerbated over the last two weeks, as their percentage dropped to 33.
