NFL Drive X-Ray
Every possession of every finished game, one row per drive.
Reading the drive ledger
Each row is one possession. The bar shows the field from the offense's own goal line on the left to the opponent's goal line on the right: the tick is where the drive started, the fill is how far it got, and the shaded end is the red zone. The dots are the drive's snaps in order: green for a successful play (a play that left the offense better off than before the snap), gold for an explosive play (15 or more yards on a pass, 10 or more on a run), red for lost yards and a red cross for a turnover.
Process is what the drive earned on its way down the field: the points a typical offense would expect from the best position this drive reached. A drive that marched to first and goal and then fumbled keeps a high process value with zero points; a long touchdown on the first snap scores seven with a low one. The Gap column is points minus process, and rows with a large gap are marked on the left edge so the drives where the result and the work diverged stand out. Process is descriptive: it describes how each drive played out in that game and is not a prediction.
Hover a drive (or tap it on a phone) for a quick look, and click it to open every play of the possession. Use the team buttons to see one offense at a time and the sort menu to bring the biggest gaps, the longest drives or the most points to the top.
