49ers in red-zone: Scoring was great, scoring TDs was not

The 2017 San Francisco 49ers were very good at scoring in the red zone, doing so on 88.2 percent of their trips inside their opponents’ 20-yard line.

Scoring touchdowns, however, was a different story. The offense converted only 47.1 percent of their opportunities into six points, which ranked 27th in the league. By comparison, the team's opponents scored 87.7 percent of the time inside the red-zone but scored touchdowns on 59.6 of those trips.

The 49ers didn't turn the ball over a lot. There were only three interceptions and one fumble in 51 red-zone opportunities this past season.
