Part of it is that we score so many of our TD's on big plays from outside the red zone, so that makes our RZ efficiency look worse than our overall scoring efficiency. 

I do think Zac turtles up a little too much in the RZ, though.  I am not a Zac hater by any means, I think what he's done this year has been pretty miraculous, but this one thing is still a weakness for him IMO.  In the last KC game, he did call more red zone passes than normal, and while it didn't always work, KC's DB's got multiple holding/PI calls.  It's almost impossible to cover all of our weapons without grabbing them if Joe gets adequate protection.
