scoring drive
Points-producing possession sequence
A scoring drive is a sustained offensive possession in football that results in points, typically a touchdown or field goal.
The term emphasizes the sequence of plays moving the ball downfield rather than a single scoring play: The team mounted an eight-play, 75-yard scoring drive to take the lead.
Drive alone often carries this meaning in football contexts.
