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.
R.Dowdle led the Panthers at +4.3 EPA (25 carries for 130). J.Love led the Packers at +5.4 EPA (26 of 37 for 273).
