In red zone efficiency since week 7. Tied for 5th in Run D since week 4. This is the most maddening part about dropping two straight. Not only is the D become competent but they've been pretty darn good. This is a team poised to run the table and go on a playoff run. If ST can keep it together for the long run this is a dangerous team.
