If you could determine just one reason for why the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0lost their past two games, it wasn\u2019t Micah Parsons\u2019 injury,\u00a0Jordan Love\u2019s concussion, or any other\u00a0personnel deficiency. The lack of red-zone efficiency is the big factor, and it was especially obvious\u00a0in Chicago.<\/p>\n

The team reached the red zone five times, and left all those five with a combined six points \u2014 the only touchdown happened outside of the red zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat certainly is problematic,\u201d head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game. \u201cThat\u2019s two games in a row where we haven\u2019t been very good down there, so we\u2019ve got to look at what we\u2019re asking our guys to do and how we can go out there and execute a little bit better.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Weeks 12 to 16, the Packers are 29th in red zone touchdown rate \u2014 the only worse teams are the\u00a0New York Jets,\u00a0New England Patriots, and\u00a0Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n

Red Zone Efficiency Weeks 12-16<\/p>\n

Context:
– Raiders and Panthers only have 6 red zone drives, yet rank 1st and 32nd in efficiency
– Dolphins only have 10 red zone drives<\/p>\n

Rams have 25 red zone drives in that time period, the most in the league for context pic.twitter.com\/3siQeQHzvp<\/a><\/p>\n
