What is a "red zone"?
In American football, a red zone refers to the area between the opponent's 20-yard line and the goal line. It is considered a critical part of the field, as teams are within striking distance of scoring a touchdown. 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.
