With the running game working, why can't we score more points?

The hard truth pill to swallow is...

Despite the running game taking off since the bye week, the offense is mustering 14.5 points per game.

Because the closer to the end zone you get, the more compressed the playing field becomes, and the harder it is to run it against a stacked box. When you can't run it in, you have to have receivers. We're missing the #1 and #2 receivers. It's not that hard really. Eifert is underutilized in the red zone as well...
