Rush attempts inside the 10 yard line:
24 ATTEMPTS - 5 TDs

Pass inside the 10:
20 attempts - 6 TDs

If you move back to include the entire redzone in these numbers  -  then there are EIGHTY more pass attempts but only 3 additional TDs - 

OOOF! 

That's 122 pass attempts inside the 20 and only 9 touchdowns as a result. 
Gotta be one of the worst percentages in the league for RZ scoring. 

Luckily they do better with the run this year than last when near the goal line.

Seems like an indictment of QB play more than anything.  Pass plays in the tight red zone are not more complicated, but the timing and accuracy becomes much more critical.

I hate saying that.  We know Trevor has to play better. It's not all his fault but some of it is.

You know what else helps in the Red Zone? Being able to grind out 3 or 4 yards on the ground instead of always having to try to throw it to score. How many of those rushing TDs belong to the QB? at least half, right? When they can rush 3 and drop 8 around the end zone and STILL get to the QB then the chances of the pass working are pretty slim.
