New Orleans Saints are the best combination: 4th in penalty yards per game (41.3) and 3rd in passing yards per game (281.3). Clubs good at one tend to be worse at the other (r = -0.28, oriented so positive means good goes with good).

Penalty yards per game across, passing yards 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.
