Drives and havoc

|---|---|---|---|
| Offense | -0.1 | own 29 | — allowed |
| Defense | -0.2 | own 39 | — caused |
A trip inside the 40 is a drive that reaches the opponent’s 40-yard line; points per trip is how many it scored on average (allowed, on defense). Average start is where drives began (the defense’s line is where its opponents started). Havoc is the share of plays ending in a tackle for loss, a forced fumble, an interception or a pass broken up.
