Chicago Bears are the best combination: 6th in third-down conversion rate (47.6%) and 3rd in third-down rate allowed (29.0%). Clubs good at one tend to be worse at the other (r = -0.27, oriented so positive means good goes with good).

Third-down conversion rate across, third-down rate allowed up. A lower-is-better axis is inverted so better stays up and right. Third-down rates swing a lot over a few games; read the corners, not the middle.

How these are measured

Season numbers from ESPN's team statistics, raw per game or per play — not adjusted for the opponents faced. Dashed lines mark the league median; the dashed diagonal is the least-squares line, and r under the chart says how tightly the two move together. Full definitions are on team stats.
