Inside the Numbers: Red Zone Arising

Related Topics: Field goal, Zen master

It's hard to know if the Jets' recent red zone defense is an anomaly or a trend. But the unit has now gone five straight possessions (not including Miami's late kneeldown, also a red zone "stop") without allowing a touchdown.

Particularly impressive were the Rams' three forays inside the Jets 20 two weeks ago. Eight plays resulted in minus-3 yards of offense and three field goals.

The last time the Jets' red zone brigade allowed minus yards and no TDs on multiple opportunities in a game? Last year vs. Jacksonville (4 plays, minus-14 yards, field goal, fumble).
