Tape Don’t Lie: Examining Marcus Mariota’s history in the red zone

The red zone will be a hot topic until it improves. The Las Vegas Raiders under Jon Gruden have become a below-average football team inside the 20. It was vital for Daniel Carlson’s breakout season, but the Raiders will need touchdowns to make it to the playoffs.

The more significant issue is inside the five, where the Raiders wasted plenty of opportunities to score touchdowns. The Raiders ran 55 plays inside the five and scored 20 touchdowns for a 37% success rate. Compare them to the Cleveland Browns, who finished with a 54% success rate.
