Jacksonville Jaguars are the best combination: 3rd in penalty yards per game (40.3) and 2nd in red-zone touchdown rate (88.9%). The two barely move together so far.

Penalty yards per game across, red-zone touchdown rate 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.
