Carolina Panthers are the best combination: 1st in passing yards per game (295.7) and 5th in passing yards allowed per game (172.3). Clubs good at one tend to be good at the other (r = 0.37, oriented so positive means good goes with good).

Passing yards per game across, passing yards allowed per game up. A lower-is-better axis is inverted so better stays up and right.

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.
