Buffalo Bills are the best combination: 8th in sacks (by the defense) (9) and 3rd in third-down conversion rate (54.5%). Clubs good at one tend to be worse at the other (r = -0.29, oriented so positive means good goes with good).

Sacks (by the defense) across, third-down conversion rate up.

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.
