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.
C.Stroud led the Texans at +21.3 EPA (23 of 27 for 244). D.Hopkins led the Ravens at +3.3 EPA (2 catches for 46).
