Buffalo Bills are the best combination: 3rd in third-down conversion rate (54.5%) and 4th in rushing yards per game (155.0). Clubs good at one tend to be good at the other (r = 0.35, 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.
