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.Ertz led the Commanders at +4.7 EPA (6 catches for 64). T.Kraft led the Packers at +10.7 EPA (6 catches for 124).
