2. New England Patriots: Red-Zone Defense

There aren’t many glaring flaws on this Patriots roster, but the red-zone defense stands out.

New England allows the third-highest red-zone touchdown rate (67.5%) despite facing the fewest red-zone trips in the league (40). The biggest issue is pass defense near the goal line, where the Patriots allow the fourth-highest passing success rate, the third-most yards per attempt and the highest average depth of target.

That’s concerning given the AFC playoff field includes four teams ranked in the top half of the league in red-zone attempts: the Jaguars, Bills, Broncos and Chargers.
