Help me translate this, please

I work as a subtitle translator, English to Dutch.

Can somebody tell me what 'to convert in the red zone' means, in a context of American football?

All help will be greatly appreciated!

edit: an explanation in English will be enough, you don't actually have to translate in into Dutch :)
Thanks!

Edit 2: never mind, found it!

Red Zone is inside the 20 yard line. Converting "it" would be getting a Touchdown and scoring 6 points. :wink:


Edit: just saw your edit. lol

I do too.

I'd rather be converting in the pink zone though ;)
