game-winning drive
Final scoring possession
A game-winning drive is a series of plays in football that results in the score needed to win, typically occurring late in the game when the outcome hangs in the balance.
The term emphasizes sustained offensive execution under pressure rather than a single play: He led a game-winning drive with under two minutes left.
The phrase appears occasionally in other sports but belongs primarily to football.
