What is a "red zone"?

The offense focuses on moving the ball into the red zone and then attempting to score, while the defense aims to prevent the offense from advancing further and scoring. The red zone plays a key role in the game, as it increases the pressure on both teams and often leads to exciting, high-stakes moments.
