The national media will go on and on about the areas of concern for the Saints. However, they fail to mention one that is lingering from the 2024 season: their inability to finish in the red zone. It doesn’t matter if the offense puts together long drives if they can’t cap it off. The Saints need to improve this to have any chance at success in 2025.
The Saints struggles in the red zone were already present in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. They weren’t able to finish drives, that proved to be the difference in the game.
