San Francisco 49ers are the best combination: 1st in third-down conversion rate (63.0%) and 1st in red-zone touchdown rate (90.0%). Clubs good at one tend to be good at the other (r = 0.52, oriented so positive means good goes with good).

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.
