What Points/drive (Off − Def) is

Points per drive minus points allowed per own drive — the offense's production per possession against the defense's cost spread over the same possessions. Close to the pace-free point differential, with a different denominator on the defensive side.

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