New York Jets are the best combination: 3rd in passing yards allowed per game (171.0) and 11th in sacks (by the defense) (8). Clubs good at one tend to be worse at the other (r = -0.26, oriented so positive means good goes with good).
Passing yards allowed per game across, sacks (by the defense) 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.
