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.
J.Smith-Njigba led the Seahawks at +17.9 EPA (9 catches for 155). T.McBride led the Cardinals at +5.1 EPA (8 catches for 41).
