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.
D.Mooney led the Falcons at +3.9 EPA (3 catches for 68). C.McCaffrey led the 49ers at +13.4 EPA (24 carries for 129).
