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.
Z.Charbonnet led the Seahawks at +10.9 EPA (18 carries for 110). J.Coker led the Panthers at +1.6 EPA (2 catches for 16).
