I understand your point. But what I'm saying is points per drive most likely (I'm not sure) doesn't take into account various factors, such as turnovers caused by the defense. The defense created 29 turnovers in 2015 compared to just 13 in 2014.
Turnovers usually set the offense up with nice field position which leads to more points
