DVOA = Defense-adjusted Value Over Average is the term used by NFL analytics to evaluate offensive and defensive efficiency based on the success of each play in comparison to the league averages.

Do yourself a favor and feast on the examples that Ted Nguyen provides in this highly comprehensive analysis:
After regressing last season, the Cardinals offense is currently 8th in DVOA.
