What Red zone pct (allowed) is
Red-zone touchdown rate allowed: opponent red-zone trips that ended in a touchdown, divided by their red-zone trips, as a percentage. Holding an opponent to three instead of seven, every time they get close.
Lower is better. It is a rate, so a team's number does not grow with games played. Source: P + N.
