The Patriots have struggled in the red zone both offensively and defensively this season. They’ve allowed more than 70 percent of opposing drives inside the 20 to result in a touchdown, which ranks last in the league, and their offense ranks 26th in success rate inside the red zone, per Tru Media.
So far in this one, it’s been a mixed bag for the Patriots.
The offense looked good in the red zone, punching it in with a TreVeyon Henderson score from 7 yards out. But the defense struggled to stop the run on the Jets’ opening drive.
It will be interesting to see how the defense responds.
