Minnesota Vikings are the best combination: 1st in third-down rate allowed (22.7%) and 1st in sacks (by the defense) (14). Clubs good at one tend to be good at the other (r = 0.40, oriented so positive means good goes with good).

Third-down rate allowed across, sacks (by the defense) 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.
