An investigation into the Patriots’ struggles in the red zone: Part 2

As I highlighted in part 1 of the video review, many of the issues the Patriots have had in the red zone in 2017 have been overwhelmingly because of execution errors, not personnel or play calling issues. In weeks 1-4, the Patriots went 11-19 in the RZ, while in weeks 5-8 the success rate fell to 6/15. Here’s a breakdown of those plays.

(1:31 - 1st) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass incomplete short middle to J.White [R.Ayers Jr.].

In this play, I’m going to give half the blame to the play calling and half of the blame to the offensive line.
