Minnesota Vikings are the best combination: 5th in yards per play allowed (4.8) and 6th in penalty yards per game (45.0). The two barely move together so far.
Yards per play allowed across, penalty yards per game 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.
