Cincinnati has the best third-down offense in the NFL. The Bengals have converted 39 of 77 third downs, or 50.6%, after going 6 of 11 in a 35-13 win at Baltimore in Week 7. That moves them just ahead of San Francisco, which had led after Week 6 and is now at 50.0% (38 of 76) after a 4-of-10 day in a loss at Atlanta.
Chicago now leads on the other side of the ball. The Bears have allowed 18 conversions on 69 third downs, a 26.1% rate, after holding New England to 2 of 7 in Week 7. Minnesota led third-down defense after Week 6 at 22.2%, but Indianapolis converted 8 of 15 against the Vikings in Week 7, the most any team has managed against them this season, and Minnesota is third at 28.2%.
The 49ers still lead in red-zone offense at 86.4% (19 touchdowns on 22 trips), and the Vikings still lead in red-zone defense, allowing three touchdowns on 13 trips. The figures below cover all 108 games played through Thursday night, including Green Bay’s 27-19 win over Carolina, so the Packers have played eight games and the Panthers seven.

| 32 | Washington | 6 | 25 of 81 | 30.9% | 31 | W6 at SF: 3 of 12 | vs. Philadelphia, Mon 03:20 |
Seattle made the biggest jump. The Seahawks went 11 of 16 on third down in their 20-3 win over Kansas City, and they moved from 29th to 18th. That is the third time this season a team has converted 11 third downs in a game, after Philadelphia at Tennessee in Week 2 and Green Bay against Dallas in Week 6, and nobody has converted more.
Dallas is third at 49.4%. Washington is last at 30.9%, with Denver at 31.1% and Cleveland at 32.6%. Denver and Cleveland are both 5-2, so a poor third-down rate has not stopped them from winning. Green Bay went 9 of 16 against Carolina on Thursday and moved from 24th to 20th, at 38.3%.

Dallas is last at 52.9%, which means opponents have converted more than half of their third downs against the Cowboys, and Miami is 31st at 52.1%. Green Bay held Carolina to 5 of 18 on Thursday and moved from 24th to 19th, at 41.4%.
