What Drives (Off − Def) is

Offensive drives minus drives faced. Usually near zero, because possessions alternate — a positive number means the team got extra possessions through turnovers, onside kicks or how halves ended.

Higher is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.
