How does each club's offense line up against its defense — or its pass rush against its protection? Pick any two of 18 team measures; better is always up and to the right.

2026 seasonthrough 4 games

Minnesota Vikings are the best combination: 1st in red-zone touchdown rate allowed (12.5%) and 1st in third-down rate allowed (22.7%). Clubs good at one tend to be good at the other (r = 0.52, oriented so positive means good goes with good).

Red-zone touchdown rate allowed across, third-down rate 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.
