Weaknesses for Packers to address: Red zone offense
The other side of the ball is having some of the same issues, especially when it comes to the red zone. Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett termed this area of the field the gold zone based on the Austin Powers movie and the Packers thrived in this area a year ago.
They haven’t been able to replicate the same success this season and have tried to figure out the issue all season long. In 47 red zone attempts, they’ve only scored a touchdown on 26 possessions–a 55.3 percent conversion rate that ranks a measly 25th in the league.
