Its absolutely amazing how bad this defense has been in the red zone this season. Most defenses benefit somewhat from the short field... most defenses force average offenses to have to execute to score... the Texans become one of the all-time worst defenses ever (worse than the 2010 bunch) when the opposition gets into the red zone.

Have to agrees for once. You can limit yards but if you can't create turnovers and are historically abysmal in the red zone then you are a crap defense.
