Yeah - definitely a good sign.
And like I said yesterday - over a meaningful timeline, I think a team's red zone percentage tends to roughly match it's success between the 20s.
If we continue to move the ball fairly well between the 20s, there's going to be some natural positive regression on our red zone success rates (notably inside the Gold zone; we don't seem to struggle getting from the 20 to the 10; it's inside the 10 where we die).
I think a little help from Hunt just having a nose for the end zone and then some basic regression could go a long way to cure some of the offensive maladies.
We'll see. It was hard not to be encouraged by how well we moved the ball UNTIL we got into the those short yardage areas. I think the scoring should follow.
