Minnesota Vikings are the best combination: 3rd in turnover margin (+4) and 5th in yards per play allowed (4.8). Clubs good at one tend to be worse at the other (r = -0.22, oriented so positive means good goes with good).
Turnover margin across, yards per play allowed 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.
