The Philadelphia Eagles may be 5-0 but if they plan on making another trip to the Super Bowl, they'll need to address their red zone woes ASAP.
The Eagles went from ranking third in the NFL in red zone scoring last fall to now sitting at No. 27 in the league.
It's safe to say that leaving points off of the board in those situations has caused some clear frustration for some players, including All-Pro center Jason Kelce… whom we saw get a little animated on the sidelines in Week 5.
Earlier this week, Kelce addressed his viral heated moment on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast.
“We’re lucky we have Jake Elliott. We wouldn’t be 5-0 without Jake Elliott, Kelce said. "We gotta get the red zone fixed, and a number of things happened in the red zone this past week — communication issues, we had a delay of game, multiple things build up and you start getting frustrated. It all builds up.”
Kelce admitted having a "blow up" wasn't the way to necessarily go about things and that he has nothing but respect for his teammates and coaches, but reiterated that their red zone situation needs fixed.
“We want to be really good", he said. "And, I know that we’re 5-0, but we could very easily not be 5-0, and the one glaring thing we need to get fixed is the red zone, and it’s starting to become a major frustration for me, but I gotta handle it better than this.”
We'll see if the Eagles have come up with a red zone solution when they take on the New York Jets at MetLife on Sunday afternoon.
