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.
S.Darnold led the Seahawks at +22.5 EPA (21 of 24 for 330). C.Jr. led the Commanders at +4.2 EPA (12 carries for 65).
