Like the Power Play in Hockey, a team's 'Red Zone' efficiency tells you quite a bit about how things are going offensively. This is why it is no surprise that the Chicago Bears are struggling with goalline success They have serious offensive line trouble, an inexperienced wide-receiving corps, and have had to overcome several key interceptions by Jay Cutler near the goalline.
Specifically, Chicago is tied for 25th in Red Zone efficiency at 44.4 %. In addition, only six teams in the NFL have had more chances inside the 20 than the Bears. They have had the opportunity to score many more points, but stalled drives and turnovers inside the 20 have been incredibly frustrating to Chicago and their fans.
Bears fans are hopeful that this can change, but the offensive line and receivers looked lost at times agianst a horrible Cleveland team on Sunday. This week's home game against Arizona should be much more difficult, so if the Red Zone means stop on Sunday, the Bears could fall to 4-4.
