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.
N.Collins led the Texans at +4.0 EPA (8 catches for 104). B.Strange led the Jaguars at +2.1 EPA (6 catches for 61).
