FLOWERY BRANCH — The bottom line doesn't look good for the Falcons' red-zone production. After failing to score touchdowns in five of six possessions inside New England's 20 last week in a 30-23 loss, the Falcons rank 29th in the league in red-zone production. Offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said Wednesday the reason for optimism is the offense is providing so many opportunities.
