Jacksonville Jaguars are the best combination: 5th in third-down conversion rate (52.9%) and 8th in rushing yards allowed per game (91.3). The two barely move together so far.

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.
