2026 seasonthrough 4 games

New Orleans Saints are the best combination: 3rd in passing yards per game (281.3) and 4th in third-down conversion rate (53.2%). Clubs good at one tend to be good at the other (r = 0.29, oriented so positive means good goes with good).

Passing yards per game across, third-down conversion rate up.

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.
