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.
T.Warren led the Colts at +6.6 EPA (5 catches for 70). P.Nacua led the Rams at +13.6 EPA (13 catches for 170).
