NFL Combined Drive Efficiency: Going into Week 9, 2026
Combined drive efficiency adds each team's drive-ending rate and turnover rate from our competing-risks drive model, for offense and defense. Values are relative to a league-average team (0); higher is better on both sides of the ball. How the model works.
