The New York Red Bulls' recent struggles with the burden of a two-goal lead have seen them drop 10 points over over five games spread over their last 10 league outings. The team was still able to get a point out of each of those matches, but it would be coasting along at the top of the Eastern Conference and Supporters' Shield race under different circumstances. Instead, RBNY is edging toward a playoff berth incrementally, maintaining a long unbeaten streak (15 games in all competitions; 12 games in MLS) without the dominant position in the standings one might expect of such an impressive run of invincibility.
