Seattle Seahawks are the best combination: 1st in passing yards allowed per game (141.7) and 1st in yards per play allowed (3.8). Clubs good at one tend to be good at the other (r = 0.66, oriented so positive means good goes with good).
Passing yards allowed per game across, yards per play allowed 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.
