Win probability is nflverse's model, which starts from the betting line and updates before every snap with the score, the clock, down, distance, field position and timeouts. A swing is the change in one team's chance across a play, in percentage points. The turning point is the play after which the winner never fell to 50% again.
J.Love led the Packers at +4.8 EPA (24 of 40 for 276). B.Nix led the Broncos at +20.3 EPA (23 of 34 for 302).
