Baltimore's offense turns heads in Week 7 power rankings for this crucial stat

The Baltimore Ravens’ offense has found its rhythm. After a rocky 0-2 start, Baltimore has stormed back with four straight wins, showing off a well-rounded attack fueled by Lamar Jackson’s brilliance and a roster packed with playmakers.

Whether it’s Jackson’s dual-threat ability keeping defenses on their heels, Derrick Henry grinding out tough yards via the ground game, or Zay Flowers lighting up secondaries, this offense is clicking in ways we haven’t seen in years​.

At the heart of this success is Baltimore’s elite red zone efficiency.

Now, when they get close to the goal line, it’s not a matter of if they’ll score a touchdown, but how. From runs with Henry to dimes from Jackson, the Ravens have found a formula to capitalize on scoring chances.

Let’s dive into how the Ravens compare with other top offenses in the latest red zone touchdown percentage power rankings.

What is red zone scoring percentage (TD only) and how is it measured?

NFL Team Red Zone Scoring Percentage (TD Only) measures how effectively a team scores touchdowns specifically when they reach the opponent’s red zone (the area between the opponent's 20-yard line and the goal line). The stat tracks the percentage of red zone drives that result in a touchdown, rather than a field goal or no points at all.

How It’s Calculated:

If a team enters the red zone 10 times and scores a touchdown on 6 of those drives, their red zone TD percentage is 60%.

Why It Matters:

• Offensive Efficiency: Teams with high red zone touchdown percentages are usually more efficient at converting opportunities into 7 points instead of settling for 3.
• Situational Execution: Red zone efficiency highlights how well an offense can execute under tighter field conditions, where defenders have less ground to cover.
• Predictor of Success: Consistently scoring touchdowns in the red zone is a key factor in winning games, especially against tough opponents.

Example:

If the Ravens get inside the opponent’s 20-yard line four times in a game and score three touchdowns, their red zone touchdown percentage for that game is 75%. Over the course of a season, this stat is used to compare offensive consistency across teams.

This stat focuses only on touchdowns, ignoring field goals and failed attempts, which is why it's often cited as a better indicator of offensive dominance than a generic red zone scoring percentage (which includes any points).
