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. The model does not hold together under the current overtime rules, so the chart covers regulation and overtime shows its scoring plays.
R.Wilson led the Giants at +17.4 EPA (30 of 41 for 450). D.Prescott led the Cowboys at +8.8 EPA (38 of 52 for 361).
