When it comes to throwing in the red zone, the windows to hit wide receivers is smaller and the decision-making is quicker. The general rule is more experienced quarterbacks have greater success inside the 20-yard line than younger ones.
That’s not the case in the AFC North, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton has thrived the most in the red zone while the division’s most experienced quarterback, the Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger, has struggled the most there.
