Of course it doesn't matter how you score -- it's how often.

2011
Giants: 32 red zone TD -- 15 passing and 17 rushing.

Cowboys: 24 red zone TD -- 20 passing and 4 rushing.

I look at those numbers and conclude that it's important to be able to run in the red zone. I conclude that the Giants won the division in 2011 because they scored more TD (even more TD per possession) than we did. And I attribute that to their rushing TD.
