The elephant in the room

I too hope they improve in the red zone. However, my personal belief is that Burrow may be playing more conservative/smarter in the red zone than earlier in the season.

He had some careless/aggressive struggles early with that stuff, and he has said that he learns and gets better as the season goes on. 

- Pick 6 inside the red zone to Browns
- Pick in the end zone to Marlon Humphrey when Cincy had an easy fg range
- Pick in the end zone to double coverage against the Chargers when trying to come back. 

He's trying to ensure not making those mistakes and at least having the 3 point opportunity. It could be Zac here as well. 

Anyway, I'm super glad he's being safer with the ball in scoring territory  and ensuring they still have chances for 3. But, that said, gonna need TDs when down there in this game.
