I said before the season started and we saw that Watson can play that I thought this team would be REALLY good in the red zone.
They've just added so much speed and length. Mistakes in coverage are amplified between the 20s because guys have space/time to pull away. But in the red zone, you can take a false step and maybe still have the boundaries to bail you out.
Some stuff will fluctuate all year. I think the 3rd down percentage will equalize towards the mean a little, for example. Then again, I think we'll see the turnover rate climb a little to partially offset it. That said, I think the red zone performances are legit - this team simply appears built to be very good in that area.
