Red zone offense:

The Ravens red zone offense started off 13-13 scoring touchdowns. Now the Ravens have left a lot of points on the board. Much like the sudden defensive woes, it feels like a completely different team. Last week against the Steelers the Ravens had two wide open receivers in the end zone that Flacco missed for easy touchdowns. It’s been a problem for a while. In the Ravens loss to the Browns, Flacco threw an interception on the goal line.

Baltimore has scored 24 touchdowns. That’s not a lot when you consider that 13 of them came in  weeks 1-4, during their historic red zone stretch. The Ravens went from the most proficient scoring offense in the NFL to a team that leans too heavily on Justin Tucker. The Ravens got off to a strong start in the red zone and their 4-2 record reflected that. Now they are 4-5 and their red zone problems are a big reason why.
