Red zone recap


During the Jaguars’ high school coaching clinic last Wednesday, offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch said (and later confirmed) the team led the NFL in last year’s final eight games by scoring on 95 percent of its red zone possessions.


The Jaguars had 21 red zone trips in games 9-16: Thirteen touchdowns, seven field goals and one turnover. It was a product of better execution and of being in the game — the Jaguars weren’t forced to go for it on fourth down.


In games 1-8, the Jaguars had 20 red zone trips: Five touchdowns, seven field goals and a whopping eight empty possessions (including five failed fourth-down attempts).


For the year, the Jaguars ranked last in the NFL in red zone touchdown percentage (43.9) and red zone scoring percentage (75.6). But the last eight games provided reason for optimism.
