Eagles’ land in the top-2 of a ranking of NFL offenses in the red-zone

The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the most efficient teams in the NFL and a big reason for that success stems from their ability to put points on the board in the red-zone.

Success in the NFL is predicated on a team’s ability to turn a red-zone trip into six points (TD) rather than the three (FG) and the Philadelphia Eagles were among the top-2 teams in the NFL last season in red-zone success per Pro Football Focus.

Only the Baltimore Ravens were more efficient inside the 10.

A huge reason for that ranking was the success of Jordan Howard, Miles Sanders, and Boston Scott running behind that stout offensive line and Carson Wentz’s 21 red-zone touchdowns, third in the NFL behind only Jackson and Russell Wilson, without a single interception.
